Introducing Transparent WEB Caching in a Local Area Network
نویسندگان
چکیده
The term "transparent web caching" refers to cache technology in which web traffic is automatically intercepted and redirected toward one or more cache servers. The redirection of web data can be accomplished using L4 switches or routers. Being completely transparent to the user (no browser configuration is required) the service can be easily implemented and turns out to be scalable and fail-safe. This work presents the results of our experimental use of transparent caching technology in a simple network environment. We focus on the impact this technique could have on network performance, with all its benefits and problems, as well as its effects on end users. The analysis is based on data gathered in an operative network during a two-month period.

A Novel Caching Strategy in Video-on-Demand (VoD) Peer-to-Peer (P2P) Networks Based on Complex Network Theory
The popularity of video-on-demand (VoD) streaming has grown dramatically over the World Wide Web. Most users in VoD P2P networks have to wait a long time in order to access their requesting videos. Therefore, reducing waiting time to access videos is the main challenge for VoD P2P networks. In this paper, we propose a novel algorithm for caching video based on peers' priority and video's popula...

متن کاملPerformance Improvement of Expanded Integrated Local Area Networks (RESEARCH NOTE)
In Local Area Networks (LAN) connected together by bridges, flow control and smooth traffic in the network is very important. However, congestion at bridges can cause intensive loss of received frames. In addition, the received frames are thrown away and have to be retransmitted by the source station, which causes more congestion and massive reduction in the overall network throughput. The netw...
متن کاملA Survey of Cache/Proxy for Transparent Data Replication
Web caching is an important technology for reducing Internet access latency, alleviating network traffic, and spreading server load. An important issue that affects the performance of web caching is caching architecture, in which several caches are usually federated for making caches cooperate on a large scale and effectively increase the cache population. Transparent data replication is such a...
متن کاملTransparent En-Route Caching in WANs?
Hierarchical caching is being widely used today to improve web performance. The way hierarchical caches are deployed requires clients and caches to be aware of the location of nearby caches. This creates management and connguration issues, and may also lead to performance bottlenecks. In contrast, Transparent en-route caches (TERC) are devices that are placed at appropriate locations within the...
