چکیده
The benefits of Web cache prefetching are well understood, and so prefetching has been implemented in a number of commercial products. This paper argues that the current support for prefetching in HTTP/1.1 is insufficient because prefetching with GET is not good. Existing prefetching implementations can cause problems with undesirable side-effects and server abuse, and the potential for these problems may thwart additional prefetching development and deployment. We make some initial suggestions of extensions to HTTP that would allow for safe prefetching, reduced server abuse, and differentiated Web server quality of service. It is our hope that this paper will restart a dialog on these issues that will move in time into a standards development process.

Content distribution networks (CDNs) increase the capacity of individual Web sites and attempt to deliver content from caches that are located “closer” to end-users than the origin servers that provide the content. CDN brokering provides CDNs a way to interoperate by allowing one CDN to intelligently redirect clients dynamically to other CDNs. This paper describes the goals, architecture, and p...

Recently the Internet has witnessed the emergence of content distribution networks (CDNs). In this paper we study the problem of optimally replicating objects in CDN servers. In our model, each Internet Autonomous System (AS) is a node with nite storage capacity for replicating objects. The optimization problem is to replicate objects so that when clients fetch objects from the nearest CDN serv...

In this paper we describe the Medusa proxy, a tool for exploring user-perceived Web performance. The Medusa proxy is a non-caching forwarding proxy used in conjunction with a user’s browser. The two key features that the Medusa proxy provides are (1) the ability to simultaneously mirror HTTP requests from the browser to different Web delivery systems and directly compare the results, and (2) th...

We investigate the stream merging problem for mediaon-demand servers. Clients requesting media from the server arrive by a Poisson process, and delivery to the clients starts immediately. Clients are prepared to receive up to two streams at any time, one or both being fed into a bu er cache. A multicast mechanism exists that allows multiple clients to receive the same stream. We present an on-l...

The increased using of the Internet and its accelerated growth leads to reduced network bandwidth and the capacity of servers; therefore, the quality of Internet services is unacceptable for users while the efficient and effective delivery of content on the web has an important role to play in improving performance. Content distribution networks were introduced to address this issue. Replicatin...
