Caching and Prefetching for Web Content Distribution1

چکیده
Proxy caching is an effective technique to reduce the network resources consumed by web services as well as the access latencies perceived by web users. This article discusses the issues and challenges of deploying web caching proxies over the Internet. We focus on the cache management for conventional web objects such as HTML pages and images and present the state-of-the-art solutions to various cache management problems including prefetching, consistency maintenance, and cooperative caching. We also highlight several possible research directions with the emerging applications and services.

A Survey of Web Caching and Prefetching
Web caching and prefetching are the most popular techniques that play a key role in improving the Web performance by keeping web objects that are likely to be visited in the near future closer to the client. Web caching can work independently or integrated with the web prefetching. The Web caching and prefetching can complement each other since the web caching exploits the temporal locality for...
متن کاملIntegrating Intelligent Predictive Caching and Static Prefetching in Web Proxy Servers
Web caching and Web prefetching are two important techniques used to reduce the noticeable response time perceived by users. By integrating Web caching and Web prefetching, these two techniques can complement each other since the Web caching technique exploits the temporal locality, whereas Web prefetching technique utilizes the spatial locality of Web objects [32]. In this paper, we develop al...
متن کاملExploring the Bounds of Web Latency Reduction from Caching and Prefetching
Prefetching and caching are techniques commonly used in I/O systems to reduce latency. Many researchers have advocated the use of caching and prefetching to reduce latency in the Web. We derive several bounds on the performance improvements seen from these techniques, and then use traces of Web proxy activity taken at Digital Equipment Corporation to quantify these bounds. We found that for the...
متن کاملA Survey on Web Pre-Fetching Techniques
web is a rich domain of opportunities, where different kind of data and knowledge is available. To get advantage of these data a huge amount of internet users access the web. The content distribution over internet is a complex task, in this process a number of intermediate proxy servers, ISP servers are participating. In order to get advantage of the distributable contents on client end web pre...
متن کاملOn the Feasibility of Prefetching and Caching for Online TV Services: A Measurement Study on Hulu
Lately researchers are looking at ways to reduce the delay on video playback through mechanisms like prefetching and caching for Videoon-Demand (VoD) services. The usage of prefetching and caching also has the potential to reduce the amount of network bandwidth usage, as most popular requests are served from a local cache rather than the server containing the original content. In this paper, we...
