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.

Web cache, which is functionally another word of proxy server, is located between client and server. Web cache has a limited storage area although it has broad bandwidth between client and proxy server, which are usually connected through LAN. Because of limited storage capacity, existing objects in web cache can be deleted for new objects by some rules called replacement algorithm. Hit rate and byte-hit rate are general metrics to evaluate replacement algorithms. Most of the replacement algorithms do satisfy only one metric, or sometimes none of them. In this paper, we propose two replacement algorithms to achieve both high hit rate and byte-hit rate with great satisfaction. In the first algorithm, the cache is appropriately partitioned according to file types as a basic model. In the second algorithm, the cache is composed of two levels; the upper level cache is managed by the basic algorithm, but the lower level is collectively used for all types of files as a shared area. To show the performance of the proposed algorithms, we evaluate hit rate and byte-hit rate of the proposed replacement algorithms using the trace driven simulation.

Many web cache systems and policies concerning them have been proposed. These studies, however, consider large objects less useful than small objects in terms of performance, and evict them as soon as possible. Even if this approach increases the hit rate, the byte hit rate decreases and the connections occurring over congested links to outside networks waste more bandwidth in obtaining large objects. This paper puts forth a client-cluster approach for improving the web cache system. The client-cluster is composed of the residual resources of clients and utilizes them as exclusive storage for large objects. This proposed system achieves not only a high hit rate but also a high byte hit rate, while reducing outgoing traffic. The distributed hash table (DHT) based peer-to-peer lookup protocol is utilized to manage the client-cluster. With the natural characteristics of this protocol, the proposed system with the client-cluster is self-organizing, fault-tolerant, well-balanced, and scalable. Additionally, the large objects are managed with an index based allocation method, which balances the loads of all clients well. The performance of the cache system is examined via a trace driven simulation and an effective enhancement of the proxy cache performance is demonstrated.

This paper proposes a new access method which is to considered the high variability in World Wide Web and manage the web cache space. Instead of using a single cache, we divide a cache and store all documents according to their file types. Proposed method was compares with current cache management policies using LFU, LRU and SIZE base algorithm. Using two different workload, we show the improvement hitting ratio and byte hitting ratio through simulating on the file type caching.

This paper describes the improvement of web cache server by scoping in replacement algorithm of data which are collected from the clients. We have found that each replacement algorithm is suitable for each type of data in the web pages. Therefore, we introduce the mechanism to select the replacement algorithm depending on the size of data called the Replacement Algorithm Selection Mechanism (RASM). RASM allows the web cache server to have the suitable replacement algorithm for each type of data. As the result, the byte hit ratio of web cache server can be increased and the congestion in the network can be alleviated.

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.

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.

The increasing popularity of multimedia streaming services introduces new challenges in content distribution. Especially, it is important to provide the QoS guarantees as they are increasingly expected to support the multimedia applications. Multimedia streams typically experience the high start-up delay due to the large protocol overhead, the delay, and the loss properties of the wireless networks. The service providers can improve the performance of multimedia streaming by caching the initial segment (prefix) of the popular streams at proxies near the requesting clients. The proxy can initiate transmission to the client while requesting the remainder of the stream from the server. In this paper, we propose the traffic based caching algorithm (TSLRU) to improve the performance of caching proxy. TSLRU classifies the traffic into three types, and improve the performance of caching proxy by reflecting the several elements such as traffic types, recency, frequency, object size when performing the replacement decision. In simulation, TSLRU performs better than the existing schemes in terms of byte hit rate, hit rate, startup latency, and throughput.

인터넷이라는 환경이 우리의 생활의 일부로 자리잡으면서, 급속히 늘어난 사용자들의 요구는 그 만큼 네트워크의 현저한 부하증가를 일으키고 네트워크의 성능저하를 유발하며 속도 면에서도 빠른 응답을 원하는 사용자들의 욕구를 충족시키지 못하게 된다. 이에 대한 하나의 대응책이, 프락시 서버를 사용함으로써 네트워크 대역폭을 효과적으로 절약하고 서버 측의 부하를 감소시키며 사용자의 요청에 대한 빠른 응답이 가능하게 하는 것이다. 그러나 프락시 서버는 제한된 캐시용량 때문에 새 개체를 위한 공간확보를 위해 기존 개체를 제거해야 하는데, 캐시의 성능을 최대화하도록 하는 효율적인 캐시대체 정책이 필요하다. 기존의 대체정책이 캐시성능판단의 두 기준인 히트율(Hit Rate)과 바이트히트율(Byte Hit Rate)을 만족시키지 못하던지 흑은 불필요한 개체에 공간을 낭비하는 등 최대한치 공간활용을 못하는 단점을 가지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 캐시를 상위층과 하위충의 2단계로 나누어 운용하면서, 상위층은 분할된 여러개의 파티션으로 관리하여 히트율과 바이트율을 높게 유지하고 하위층은 상위의 각각의 파티션들에 추가적으로 필요한 캐시공간을 제공함으로서 동적인 파티션공간분할 효과를 제공하는 프락시 서버의 캐시구조와 캐시대체정책을 제안한다.

최근 인터넷 기반 서비스 환경의 질적개선과 이에 따른 이용자 증가에 따라. 오디오나 동영상과 같은 규모가 크고 동적 특성을 가진 웹 컨텐츠의 수가 증가하는 추세이다. 이에 따라 'hit ratio' 뿐만 아니라 오브젝트의 크기를 기반으로 하는 'byte hit ratio' 또한 캐시 성능을 평가하는 중요한 측정 요소가 되었다. 이러한 측정기준을 대상으로 할 때, 기존의 웹 캐시 교체 정책중 HP연구소의 GDSF (Greedy-Dual-Size with Frequency)알고리즘과 LFU-DA(LFU with Dynamic Aging)알고리즘이 우수한 성능을 보이는 것으로 알려져있는데, 이러한 기존의 웹 캐시 교체 정책은 서버와의 네트워크 상태를 고려하지 않은 정책이고, 이에 따라 네트워크 상태에 따른 전송비용의 차이를 반영하지 못하고 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 서버와 웹 캐시 간의 네트워크 상태를 반영할 수 있는 캐시 교체 정책을 제안하고, 이에 대한 실험을 수행하였으며, 그 결과 사용자의 요구에 대한 응답시간의 감소 효과를 얻을 수 있었다.
