Transparent Distributed Redirection of HTTP Requests
نویسندگان
چکیده
Replication in the World-Wide Web covers a wide range of techniques. Often, the redirection of a client browser towards a given replica of a Web page has to be explicit and is performed after the client’s request has reached the Web server storing the requested page. As an alternative, we propose to perform the redirection as close to the client as possible in a fully distributed manner. Distributed redirection ensures that we find a replica wherever it is stored and that the closest possible replica is always found first. By exploiting locality, we can keep latency low.

Performance comparison of alternative Web caching techniques
Web caching is a popular technique to improve the performance and scalability of the Web by increasing document availability and enabling download sharing. Distributed cache cooperation, a mechanism for sharing documents between caches, can further improve performance by providing a shared cache to a large user population. Layer 5 switching-based transparent Web caching schemes intercept HTTP r...
متن کاملPerformance Evaluation of New Methods of Automatic Redirection for Load Balancing of Apache Servers Distributed in the Internet
An overloaded web server will lose incoming requests resulting in a “404 error” appearing at a client browser. Front-end application-level switches can redirect requests to less loaded servers. However, there exist no native methods within common web servers to automatically redirect requests for reducing load. We develop and evaluate changes to the open source Apache HTTP server to automatical...
متن کاملRedirection Algorithms for Load Sharing in Distributed Web-server Systems
Replication of information among multiple Web servers is necessary to support high request rates to popular Web sites. A clustered Web-server organization is preferable to multiple independent mirrored-servers because it maintains a single interface to the users and has the potential to be more scalable, fault-tolerant and better load balanced. In this paper we propose a Web cluster architectur...
متن کاملFTP Mirror Tracker: A Few Steps Towards URN
FTP Mirror Tracker1 is a software package (written in Perl and C++) that enables transparent, user-controlled redirection to the nearest anonymous FTP mirror sites that are exact replicas of the original source. This redirection can be achieved by using a Web Cache server or by making HTTP requests to the FTP Mirror Tracker directly. The Mirror Tracker also has internal URN support and can be u...
متن کاملGeographic Load Balancing for Scalable Distributed Web Systems
Users of highly popular Web sites may experience long delays when accessing information. Upgrading content site infrastructure from a single node to a locally distributed Web cluster composed by multiple server nodes provides a limited relief, because the cluster wide-area connectivity may become the bottleneck. A better solution is to distribute Web clusters over the Internet by placing conten...
