An effective solution to the problems caused by the explosive growth of World Wide Web is a web caching that employing an additional server, called proxy cache, between the clients and main server for caching the popular web objects near the clients. However, a single proxy cache can easily become the bottleneck. Deploying groups of cooperative caches provides scalability and robustness by eliminating the limitations caused by a single proxy cache. Two common architectures to implement the cooperative caching are hierarchical and distributed caching systems. Unfortunately, both architectures suffer from performance limitations. We propose an efficient hybrid caching architecture eliminating these limitations by using both the hierarchical and same level caches. Our performance evaluation with our investigated simulator shows that the proposed architecture offers the best of both existing architectures in terms of cache hit rate, the number of query messages from clients, and response time.

Nowadays, Internet is used worldwide and network traffic is increasing dramatically. Much of Internet traffic is due to the web applications. And I propose a new cooperative web caching scheme, called DCOORD which tries to minimize the overall cost of Web caching. DCOORD reduces the communication cost by coordinating the objects which are cached at each cache server. In this paper, I compare the Performance of DCOORD with two well-known cooperative Web caching schemes, ICP and CARP, using trace driven simulation. In order to reflect the cost factor in the network communication, I used the CSR(Cost-Saving Ratio) as our performance metric, instead of the traditional hit ratio. The performance evaluations show that DCOORD is more cost effective than ICP and CARP.

The sharing of caches among Web proxies is an important technique to reduce Web Traffic and alleviate network bottlenecks. Additionally, due to emerging network technologies cooperative Web caching among proxies shows great promise to become an effective approach for reducing Web document access latencies. Nevertheless it is not widely deployed due to the overhead of existing protocols such as ICP. We propose iSCSI-based hierarchical web caching scheme which provides more improved performance than existing web caching scheme.

Since large objects consume substantial resources, web proxy caching incurs a fundamental trade-off between performance (i.e., hit-ratio and latency) and overhead (i.e., resource usage), in terms of caching and relaying large objects to users. This paper investigates how and to what extent the current dedicated-server based web proxy caching scheme is affected by large file transfers in a high bandwidth campus network environment. We use a series of trace-based performance analyses and profiling of various resource components in our experimental squid proxy cache server. Large file transfers often overwhelm our cache server. This causes a bottleneck in a web network, by saturating the network bandwidth of the cache server. Due to the requests for large objects, response times required for delivery of concurrently requested small objects increase, by a factor as high as a few million, in the worst cases. We argue that this cache bandwidth bottleneck problem is due to the fundamental limitations of the current centralized web proxy caching model that scales poorly when there are a limited amount of dedicated resources. This is a serious threat to the viability of the current web proxy caching model, particularly in a high bandwidth access network, since it leads to sporadic disconnections of the downstream access network from the global web network. We propose a peer-to-peer cooperative web caching scheme to address the cache bandwidth bottleneck problem. We show that it performs the task of caching and delivery of large objects in an efficient and cost-effective manner, without generating significant overheads for participating peers.

Caching in a cache sorrel cluster environment has an advantage that minimizes the request and response tine of internet traffic and web user. Then, one of the methods that increases the hit ratio of cache is using the hash function with cooperative caching. It is keeping a fixed size of the total cache memory regardless of the number of cache servers. On the contrary, if there is no cooperative caching, the total size of cache memory increases proportional to the number of cache sowers since each cache server should keep all the cache data. The disadvantage of hashing method is that clients' requests stress a few servers in all the cache servers due to the characteristics of hashing md the overall performance of a cache server cluster depends on a few servers. In this paper, we propose the method that distributes uniformly client requests between cache servers using dynamic server information. We performed experiments using 16 PCs. Experimental results show the uniform distribution o

최근 클러스터에 대한 연구는 내용 기반 클러스터의 부하 분배와 캐시 정책에 집중되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 웹 서비스의 고가용성 및 확장성을 제공하는 클러스터 환경에서 힌트 기반 협력적 캐싱의 캐시 적중률을 향상시키기 위해 기존의 DFR 기법을 개선하였다. 서비스 접근 확률을 이용하여 주 복사본과 종속 복사본을 선택적으로 제거하는 메모리 교체 방법을 제시하였으며, DFR 방식과 성능을 비교, 분석한 결과 DFR 방식보다 적은 디스크 접근률을 얻을 수 있었다.

P2P 웹 캐싱 기술은 자신의 로컬 캐시에서 원하는 웹 객체를 찾지 못한 경우, 중앙 서버나 프락시 서버로부터 웹 객체를 받기 전에 P2P 네트워크에 참여하는 이웃으로부터 웹 객체를 받음으로써 기존의 서버-클라이언트 방식을 탈피하여 중앙 서버의 고장에 영향을 적게 받고, 중앙 서버로의 과도한 부하를 막아준다. 기존의 많은 P2P 웹 캐싱 시스템은 피어의 로컬 캐시 교체 정책으로 LRU기법을 사용한다. 하지만 이는 P2P 환경을 고려하지 않는 단순한 정책이다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 P2P 환경을 고려한 디렉토리 기반의 웹 캐싱 시스템을 통해서 P2P 협력적인 캐시 교체 정책을 제시하고 실제 웹 로그 트레이스로 시뮬레이션을 하여, 제안하는 교체 정책이 효과가 있음을 기술한다.
