CFTP: A Caching FTP Server
نویسندگان
چکیده
By analyzing the log les generated by the UK National Web Cache and by a number of origin FTP sites we provide evidence that an FTP proxy cache with knowledge of local (national) mirror sites could signiicantly reduce the amount of data that needs to be transferred across already overused networks. We then describe the design and implementation of CFTP, a caching FTP server, and report on its usage over the rst 10 months of its deployment. Finally we discuss a number of ways in which the software could be further enhanced to improve both its eeciency and its usability.

We carefully believe that server workload for interactive multimedia service exhibits different characteristics from legacy application, e.g. ftp server, web server, ASP server and etc., and that there are greater chance of improvement with better understanding of streaming workload. In this work, we present a novel buffer management algorithm for interactive multimedia streaming workload. We c...

A WWW proxy server, proxy for short, provides access to the Web for people on closed subnets who can only access the Internet through a firewall machine. The hypertext server developed at CERN, cern_httpd, is capable of running as a proxy, providing seamless external access to HTTP, Gopher, WAIS and FTP. cern_httpd has had gateway features for a long time, but only this spring they were extende...
متن کاملDesign and Applicability of a Transparent
In this paper we present the design, applicability and preliminary experimental results of the network redirection layer developed at the University of Freiburg as part of Plexor, a load-balancing and fault-tolerance middleware framework. The non-invasive nature of our layer allows all dynamically-linked network applications to beneet from our framework without the need to recompile them, which...
متن کاملWorld Wide Web Cache Consistency
The bandwidth demands of the World Wide Web continue to grow at a hyper-exponential rate. Given this rocketing growth, caching of web objects as a means to reduce network bandwidth consumption is likely to be a necessity in the very near future. Unfortunately, many Web caches do not satisfactorily maintain cache consistency. This paper presents a survey of contemporary cache consistency mechani...
