Discrimination of media object segments in wireless home proxies has a significant impact on caching delay, and caching delay degrades the performance of the proxy. In this paper, we propose a Single Fetching Smart Caching (SFSC) strategy and a Multi-Fetching Smart Caching (MFSC) strategy to improve the proxy performance of the home network and improve the caching performance for media object segments. The SFSC strategy is a technique that performs caching by sequential fetching of object segments requested by the home node one at a time, which guarantees a faster cache hit rate, and the MFSC strategy is a technique that caches the media object segments by blocking object segments requested by the home node one at a time, which improves the throughput of cache. Simulation results show that the cache hit rate and the caching delay are more efficient than the MFSC technique, and the throughput of the object segment is more efficient than that of the SFSC technique.

Today, in exponential growth of internet, the importance of file caching which could reduce the sun load, the volume of network traffic, and the latency of response has emerged. Actually, in one network, the traffic has reduced by using the cache and this means that file caching can improve the internet environment by cost a fraction of link upgrades. In this paper, we address a dynamic cache group configuration policy, to solve the scalable problem. The simulation result shows that the cache group using our proposal policy reduces the latency of response time and it means that out cache group configuration is more scalable than the static cache configuration.

There are recently a lot of inconvenience because every client should be set to the proxy server on the browser in order to control the access by means of the client authentication in the proxy server. The client authentication technology using the transparency cache in this paper will be transparently used for every user in the internet which option of the authentication function is simply set in the cache server. In addition, the administrator will get the benefit since he can control the traffic of each client and strengthen the security. And also, this system is expected to use in the eCRM deeply rotated to the tendency of the client in the field of the e-commerce like shopping mall in the internet since the administrator can monitor the pattern of the client using the internet. This technique can be applied to the company affiliated research center, the EC website, and the military where it is essential for the tight security even though there are no additional security devices.

Disk I/O is a major performance bottleneck of web proxy server. Today's most web proxy sowers are design to run on top of a general purpose file system. But general purpose file system can not efficiently handle web cache workload, small files, leading to the performance degradation of entire web proxy servers. In this paper we evaluate the performance potential of raw disk to reduce disk I/O overhead of web proxy servers. To show the performance potential of raw disk, we design a storage management system called Block-structured Storage Management System (BSMS). And we also actually implement web proxy server that incorporate BSMS in Squid. Comprehensive experimental evaluations show that raw disk can be a good solution to improve disk I/O performance significantly for web proxy servers.

Open source web service softwares are usually running on UNIX-based operating systems. Choosing an operating system can affect web system performance. In this paper, we describe a source - code-level time measurement tool and measure a service time of each system call that Squid - open source web proxy cache - makes. We run Squid 2.4.STABLEl on Linux 2.4.2 and Solaris 8, and we compare the measured time. As a result, Linux 2.4.2 performs better than Solaris 8. It can be used as a guide for selecting system software on building web service using open source software, and also be used as a basis for enhancing the operating system performance of supporting web service software.

Streaming media has contributed to a significant amount of today's Internet Traffic. Like traditional web objects, rich media objects can benefit from proxy caching, but caching streaming media is more of challenging than caching simple web objects, because the streaming media have features such as huge size and high bandwidth. And to support various bandwidth requirements for the heterogeneous ubiquitous devices, a transcoding proxy is usually necessary to provide not only adapting multimedia streams to the client by transcoding, but also caching them for later use. The traditional proxy considers only a single version of the objects, whether they are to be cached or not. However the transcoding proxy has to evaluate the aggregate effect from caching multiple versions of the same object to determine an optimal set of cache objects. And recent researches about multimedia caching frequently store initial parts of videos on the proxy to reduce playback latency and archive better performance. Also lots of researches manage the contents with segments for efficient storage management. In this paper, we define the 9-events of transcoding proxy using 4-atomic events. According to these events, the transcoding proxy can define the next actions. Then, we also propose the segment-based caching policy for the transcoding proxy system. The performance results show that the proposing policy have a low delayed start time, high byte-hit ratio and less transcoding data.

The proxy mechanism widely used in WWW systems offers low-delay data delivery by means of "proxy server". By applying the proxy mechanisms to the video streaming system, we expect that high-quality and low-delay video distribution can be accomplished without introducing extra load on the system. In addition, it is effective to adapt the quality of cached video data appropriately in the proxy if user requests are diverse due to heterogeneity in terms of the available bandwidth, end-system performance, and user′s preferences on the perceived video quality. We have proposed proxy caching mechanisms to accomplish the high-quality and highly-interactive video streaming services. In our proposed system, a video stream is divided into blocks for efficient use of the cache buffer. The proxy server is assumed to be able to adjust the quality of a cached or retrieved video block to the request through video filters. In this paper, to verify the practicality of our mechanisms, we implemented them on a real system and conducted experiments. Through evaluations from several performance aspects, it was shown that our proposed mechanisms can provide users with a low-latency and high-quality video streaming service in a heterogeneous environment.

기존의 VOD 시스템을 확대하여 원거리에 존재하는 서비스 제공자로부터에서 사용자에세 더 빠른 응답서비스를 제공하고, 장애가 발생하더라도 사용자에게 중단 없이 제공되도록 하기 위하여 프락시 서버를 두었는데, 특히 일정 지역내 존재하는 프락시 서버들간에 틀러스터를 형성하여 단일 프락시 서버로 만족할 수 없는 다수의 클라이언트로부터의 요구를 받아들이고 cache사이즈와 감소와, 더 높은 hit tate를 제공하도록 한다. 또한 이 클러스터내의 프로그램관리를 위해 비디오데이터에 대한 정보를 hint로 저장하여 각 프락시에서 관리함으로써 네트웍을 통해 사용자까지 실시간으로 비디오 데이터를 전송이 가증하고, 직접 데이터를 전달 없이 클러스터를 효율적으로 관리할 수 있도록 한다.

Caching in a Wireless Internet Proxy Server Cluster Environment has an effect that minimizes the time on the request and response of Internet traffic and Web user As a way to increase the hit ratio of cache, we can use a hash function to make the same request URLs to be assigned to the same cache server. The disadvantage of the hashing scheme is that client requests cannot be well-distributed to all cache servers so that the performance of the whole system can depend on only a few busy servers. In this paper, we propose an improved load balancing scheme using hashing and Round Robin scheme that distributes client requests evenly to cache servers. In the existing hashing scheme, if a hashing value for a request URL is calculated, the server number is statically fixed at compile time while in the proposed scheme it is dynamically fixed at run time using round robin method. We implemented the proposed scheme in a Wireless Internet Proxy Server Cluster Environment and performed experiments using 16 PCs. Experimental results show the even distribution of client requests and the 52% to 112% performance improvement compared to the existing hashing method.

전통적일 파일 캐쉬나 가상 메모리 시스템과 웹 캐쉬는 다르다. 웹 캐쉬는 WWW상에서 작게는 수백 바이트에서 크게는 수십 메가바이트에 이르는 다양한 크기의 개체를 다루어야 한다. 다양한 크기의 개체를 다루는데 따른 문제점은 캐쉬 성능을 판단하는 매트릭스가 단순한 hit rate가 아니라는 것이다. 기본적인 웹 캐쉬의 성능 매트릭스로는 HR(cache hit rate)와 BHR(byte cache hit rate)가 있으며, 기존에 제시된 캐쉬 정책들은 두 가지 중 하나만을 만족하거나 아니면 어느 것도 만족하지 않는 경우가 대부분이다. 트레이스 드리븐 방식을 이용한 시뮬레이션을 통하여, 기존에 우수성이 입증된 캐쉬 대체 정책과 우리가 제시한 TYPE 대체 정책을 HR과 BHR을 기준으로 비교한다. 우리가 제시한, 파일 타입에 대해 동적으로 할당된 캐쉬 공간을 갖는 캐쉬 대체기법은 각각의 두 성능 매트릭스에 대해서 골고루 우수한 성능을 보였다.
