Paul's use of Squid is mentioned in this NANOG

Here are the notes from the SF NANOG presentation:

Right. Though the details are very sparse, this is stock Squid running in accelerator mode. The solution I described is quite different (for one, it's normal-mode squid for _outbound_ requests, and second, it actually probes the links to see if they're working).

A commercial solution that looks a lot more like the stuff we built are products by Stonesoft ("Multi-Link Technology") and Fatpipe ("Redundant Array of Independent Lines"). RadWare's "LinkProof" has a similar style, though the actual technique they use is more link- centric instead of path-centric.
