Content delivery, such as video streaming, is one of the most prevalent Internet applications. Although very popular, the continuous growth of such applications poses novel performance and scalability challenges. Informationcentric networks put content at the center, and propose novel solutions to such challenges but also pose new questions on the interface between caching and routing. In this ...

This paper analyzes the potential of cooperative proxy caching for peer-to-peer (P2P) traffic as a means to ease the burden imposed by P2P traffic on Internet service providers (ISPs). In particular, we propose two models for cooperative caching of P2P traffic. The first model enables cooperation among caches that belong to different autonomous systems (ASes), while the second considers coopera...

As streaming media over the Internet becomes popular, caching proxy has become increasingly important. Nowadays, caching proxy has turned into a standard technique, which is widely deployed on the Internet to reduce client-perceived delay and network traffic. In this paper, we propose a cluster-based streaming caching proxy architecture in which the local network has a number of independent cac...

This paper discusses signature caching strategies to reduce power consumption for wireless broadcast and ltering services. The two-level signature scheme is used for indexing the information frames. A signature is considered as the basic caching entity in this paper. Four caching policies are compared in terms of tune-in time and access time. With reasonable access time delay, all of the cachin...

We present a semantic caching scheme suitable for caching responses from Web services on the SOAP protocol level. Existing semantic caching schemes for database systems or Web sources cannot be applied directly because there is no semantic knowledge available about the requests to and responses from Web services. Web services are typically described using WSDL (Web Service Description Language)...

NCS (Network and Cache Simulator) is an HTTP trace-driven discrete event simulator of network and caching activity. It is highly parameterized for maximal compatibility with previous caching and network simulations. In granularity, it resides between the high-level caching-only simulators prominant in much Web caching research, and the detailed simulators of networking protocols and traffic. In...

Internet usage has shifted from host-centric end-to-end communication to a content-centric approach mainly used for content delivery. Information Centric Networking (ICN) was proposed as a promising novel content delivery architecture. ICN includes in-network caching features at every node which has a major impact on content retrieval. For instance, the ICN efficiency depends drastically on the...

An adaptive caching algorithm, known as Adaptive Caching with Multiple Experts (ACME), has recently been presented in the field of web-caching. We explore the migration of ACME to the database caching environment. By integrating recently proposed database replacement policies into ACME’s existing policy pool, an attempt is made to gauge ACME’s ability to utilise newer methods of database cachin...

The demand for digital maps on the Internet has increased considerably in the last few years. Therefore the performance of Web Mapping Services is becoming more and more important. This article introduces different caching techniques for high performance transfer of data using standardized Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) Web Map Services (WMS). It describes and examines different caching mecha...

The demand for digital maps on the Internet has increased considerably in the last few years. Therefore the performance of Web Mapping Services is becoming more and more important. This article introduces different caching techniques for high performance transfer of data using standardized OGC Web Map Services (WMS). It describes and examines different caching mechanisms based on tile caching, ...
