In this paper, we propose a new caching strategy for web servers. The proposed strategy collects only the statistics of the requested file, for example the popularity, when a request arrives. At a point of time, only files with higher forecasted popularity are cached all together. Forecasted popularity based lazy caching (FPLC) strategy uses exponential smoothing method for forecast popularity of web files. And, FPLC strategy shows that the cache hit ratio and the cache transfer ratio are better than those produced by other caching strategy. Furthermore, the experiment that is performed with real log files built from web servers shows our study on forecast method for popularity of web files improves cache efficiency.

As traffic on the web increases, users are faced with increasing delays. A key performance measure for the web is the speed with which object is served to users. Web caching is the one of the key method that improve performance of Web base system. Also, many studies for efficient management of storing scope on cache are performed actively. An important issue in web caching is how to improve a efficiency of a caching system. For this, efficient web cache management is required. A solution for this is to set up the caching strategy that consider a heterogeneity of Web object. In this paper, We propose a new web caching technique for a performance improvement of a multimedia object process. The proposed method is based on a heterogeneity of Web object, and it increases performance of a caching system by increasing the caching efficiency of a multimedia object. In the experiment, We verified performance improvement of proposed web caching system through performance analysis of a proposed system.

Because of explosive growth in demand for web-based multimedia applications, proper proxy caching for large multimedia object (especially video) has become needed. For a video object which is much larger in size and has different access characteristics than the traditional web object such as image and text, caching the whole video file as a single web object is not efficient for the proxy cache. In this paper, we propose a proxy caching strategy with the constant-sized segment for video file and an improved proxy cache replacement policy. Through the event-driven simulation under various conditions, we show that our proposal is more efficient than the variable-sized segment strategy which has been proven to have higher hit ratio than other traditional proxy cache strategies.

A peer-to-peer web caching has been studied recently as it can reduce the traffic converged on the server side and can support the traditional web caching model. Although the peer-to-peer web caching has the merit of having additional cache space from the local caches of peers without additional infrastructure, several constraints such as dynamic participation and local caching strategy caused by the autonomy of peers in peer-to-peer networks nay limit the performance of the peer-to-peer web caching. To overcome these limitations, we propose an efficient directory-based peer-to-peer web caching system under dynamic participation of peers. In the proposed caching system, we present new peer selection and replica management schemes by introducing the concept of the object lifetime in P2P networks. We evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed system through trace-driven simulations with a web log dataset. Simulation results show that the proposed system has higher accuracy and fewer redirection failures than the conventional directory-based P2P web caching system in feasible peer-to-peer networks.

In this paper, we propose a new caching strategy for web servers. The proposed algorithm collects on]y the statistics of the requested file, for example the popularity, when a request arrives. And, at times, only files with higher popularity are cached all together. Because the cache remains unchanged until the cache is made newly, web server can use very efficient data structure for cache to determine whether a file is in the cache or not. This increases greatly tile efficiency of cache manipulation. Furthermore, the experiment that is performed with real log files built by web servers shows that the cache hit ratio and the cache hit ratio are better than those produced by LRU. The proposed algorithm has a drawback such that the cache hit ratio may decrease when the popularity of files that is not in the cache explodes instantaneously. But in our opinion, such explosion happens infrequently, and it is easy to implement the web servers to adapt them to such unusual cases.

With the recent explosion in using of the Internet, the problem of caching web objects has gained considerable importance. Caching on the Internet differs from traditional caching in several ways. Especially, the conventional caching algorithms are not well suited for the Internet caching. The poor performance is mainly due to its unfair treatment of small objects since all the objects are treated the same even though they differ in size. In this paper, I give an overview of caching policies designed for web objects, and provide a new algorithm of my own. I also have performed trace-driven simulations about variable-size replacement algorithms, and derived a new algorithm to improve byte hit-ratio by classifying objects based on their sizes.

In this paper we study and analyze the influence of caching strategies on the performance of WWW servers, We propose a new strategy called file type based caching that aims to obtain a well-balanced mixture between large and small files in the cache, and moreover, it provides good performance for both small and large file as expected, By using the type based caching good results are obtained for both the hit rate and the byte hit rate.

Temporal locality of Web server references is one of the important characteristics to be considered in the design of a Web caching strategy, and it is important to measure the temporal locality exactly. Various methods to estimate the temporal locality have been proposed, however, Web server designers have still troubles in its measurement by using the tools that don't reflect the interarrival time of document requests. In this paper, we propose a measurement tool for short-term temporal locality based on request interarrival time, and discuss the simulation results based on the flares from NLANR and NASA Web sites. The results show that the proposed tool estimates the short-term temporal locality more exactly than that based on a stack.

Despite the growth in Internet users, demand for multi-medial, large data files and resulting explosive growth in data traffic, there has been lack of investment in Middle-Mile, interconnection of various networks, resulting in bottleneck effect, which is acerbating. One strategy to overcome such network bottleneck is Content Delivery Network (CDN). CDN does not achieve efficient delivery of large file data through physical improvement/increase in network capacity, but by delivering large file contents, the cause of bottlenecks, from distributed servers. Since it is impracticable to physically improve networks capacity to accommodate the growth in internet traffic, CON, by strong CPs contents at cache servers deployed at major ISPs networks, is able to deliver requested contents to the requesting Web clients without the loss of data and long latency.

인터넷 이용자의 증가와 멀티미디어 등 대용량 콘텐츠에 대한 수요의 증가로 인해 데이터 트래픽은 기하 급수적으로 늘어나는 데 비해 네트웍 성능향상에 대한 투자는 이에 미치지 못함으로서 결과적으로 인터넷은 트래픽의 병목현상, 즉 정체현상이 발생하게 되었으며 점차 그 정도가 심해지고 있다. 이 문제를 해결하기 위해 제안하는 방안이 바로 전략적 CDN(Content Delivery Network) 이다. 현실적으로, 본 연구는 물리적인 망 증설만으로는 트래픽 체증 문제를 해결하기는 어려우므로 주요 ISP 네트웍에 전략적 캐시서버를 설치하여 CP의 콘텐츠를 각 ISP 네트웍마다 분산하여 저장하고 이용자의 요청 시 이용자의 인터넷 회선이 물려 있는 ISP 네트웍에서 바로 콘텐츠를 전송하여 데이터 손실과 속도 저하 등의 문제를 해결하는 CDN의 구성과 그 효과를 실증적으로 밝혔다.
