چکیده

Replication is a well-known technique to improve the accessibility of Web sites. It generally offers reduced client latencies and increases a site’s availability. However, applying replication techniques is not trivial, and various Content Delivery Networks (CDNs) have been created to facilitate replication for digital content providers. The success of these CDNs has triggered further research efforts into developing advanced Web replica hosting systems. These are systems that host the documents of a Web site and manage replication automatically. To identify the key issues in designing a wide-area replica hosting system, we present an architectural framework. The framework assists in characterizing different systems in a systematic manner. We categorize different research efforts and review their relative merits and demerits. As an important side-effect, this review and characterization shows that there a number of interesting research questions that have not received much attention yet, but which deserve exploration by the research community.

Title: Performance of Replication Schemes for an Internet Hosting Service Performance of Dynamic Replication Schemes for an Internet Hosting Service

The paper explores schemes for dynamic replication and migration of web objects in the context of an Internet hosting service. It describes a replica placement algorithm for deciding the location and number of replicas of an object as well as request distribution schemes for choosing among currently available replicas. We compare two classes of request distribution algorithms – namely feedback ...

From Web Servers to Ubiquitous Content Delivery

Hosting a Web site at a single server creates performance and reliability issues when request load increases, availability is at stake, and, in general, when quality-of-service demands rise. A common approach to these problems is making use of a content delivery network (CDN) that supports distribution and replication of (parts of) a Web site. The nodes of such networks are dispersed across the...

Decrepol: A Decentralized Replication Policy for Web Documents

The current size of the Internet makes it impossible to host major Web sites on a single server. Replication can improve both the availability and the performance of a Web hosting service. Current replication policies heavily rely on the origin server. Therefore, this thesis presents Decrepol, a decentralized replication policy for Web documents that assumes the origin server to be unavailable ...
