WCCP is a Cisco only protocol so they are the only that benefit from
this
protocol.
AFAIK, WCCP(v2) is Cisco-developed, but is not Cisco-proprietary
protocol. Squid's implementation of the protocol is an example of the
fact. You can find the list for third-party software implemented
WCCP(v2) on Wikipedia pages [1].
I am planning to write a daemon for Linux routers that will be the
alternative to WCCP on Linux or other routers.
I am not going the 100% binary format like WCCP but a more HTTP\RPC a
like
protocol.
Is not it easier to implement already designed protocol, rather then
design it from scratch?
I believe, you could consult expired RFC draft WCCPv2 specification [2].
So for example the server cannot state "I can handle 3000 clients" and
then
the admin need to tweak the router manually.
I believe, you can extend the existing RFC draft [2] and move it to new
version.

Please correct me, if my comments are inaccurate/wrong.
