As the number of the Internet users increases explosively, a solution for this problem is web caching. So, many techniques on improving cache server performance have been suggested. In this paper, we analyze the cause of the bottleneck in cache servers, and propose an arbitral thread and delayed caching mechanism as a solution. We use an arbitral thread in order to provide a quick service to user requests through eliminating the ready multi-thread search problem in case of disk writing operation. We also use delayed caching in order to provide stable system operation through avoiding overloaded disk operation and queue threshold. Proposed cache server is implemented through modification on SQUlD cache server, and we compare its performance with the original SQUID cache server.

The technique which stores cache data in EXT2 or UFS designed for general purpose is not suitable for satisfying the speed required for web cache due to the general purpose file system. This study shows that there is the better solution by optimizing the file system using the characteristics of web file. It is impossible that the suggested RawCFS changes the size of cached object and the access authentication, and this results from the existence of up-to-dated object in the original server. This file system is proved in the capability test that it is faster than the technique by 40% which stores in each file by object unit. This can be used in the design of high end web server such as shoppingmall or Internet Broadcasting station which should provide objects like image or HTML as well as cache server to the client for the fast service.

Wireless internet, which becomes a hot social issue, has limitations due to the following characteristics, as different from wired internet. It has low bandwidth, frequent disconnection, low computing power, and small screen in user terminal. Also, it has technical issues to Improve in terms of user mobility, network protocol, security, and etc. Wireless internet server should be scalable to handle a large scale traffic due to rapidly growing users. In this paper, wireless internet proxy server clusters are used for the wireless Internet because their caching, distillation, and clustering functions are helpful to overcome the above limitations and needs. TranSend was proposed as a clustering based wireless internet proxy server but it has disadvantages; 1) its scalability is difficult to achieve because there is no systematic way to do it and 2) its structure is complex because of the inefficient communication structure among modules. In our former research, we proposed the All-in-one structure which can be scalable in a systematic way but it also has disadvantages; 1) data sharing among cache servers is not allowed and 2) its communication structure among modules is complex. In this paper, we proposed its improved scheme which has an efficient communication structure among modules and allows data to be shared among cache servers. We performed experiments using 16 PCs and experimental results show 54.86$\%$ and 4.70$\%$ performance improvement of the proposed system compared to TranSend and All-in-one system respectively Due to data sharing amount cache servers, the proposed scheme has an advantage of keeping a fixed size of the total cache memory regardless of cache server numbers. On the contrary, in All-in-one, the total cache memory size increases proportional to the number of cache servers since each cache server should keep all cache data, respectively.

Recently, as construction of information infra including high-speed communication networks remarkably expands, more various information services have been provided. Thus the number of internet users rapidly increases, and it results in heavy load on Web server and higher traffics on networks. The phenomena cause longer response time that means worse quality of service. To solve such problems, much effort has been attempted to loosen bottleneck on Web server, reduce traffic on networks and shorten response times by caching informations being accessed more frequently at the proxy server that is located near to clients. And it is also possible to improve internet performance further by allowing clients to share informations stored in proxy caches. In this paper, we perform simulations of hierarchical proxy caches with the 3-level 4-ary tree structure by using real web traces, and analyze cache hit ratio for various cache replacement policies and cache sizes when the delayed-store scheme is applied. According to simulation results, the delayed-store scheme increases the remote cache hit ratio, that improves quality of service by shortening the service response time.

To meet the increased demand of video-on-demand (VoD) services, peer-to-peer (P2P) mesh-based multiple video approaches have been recently proposed, where each peer is able to find a video segment interested without resort to the video server. However, they have not considered the constraint of the server's upload bandwidth and the fairness between upload and download amounts at each peer. In this paper, we propose a novel P2P VoD streaming system, named peer cache adaptation (PECAN) where each peer adjusts its cache capacity adaptively to meet the server's upload bandwidth constraint and achieve the fairness. For doing so, we first propose a new cache replacement algorithm that designs the number of caches for a segment to be proportional to its popularity. Second, we mathematically prove that if the cache capacity of a peer is proportional to its segment request rate, the fairness between upload and download amounts at each peer can be achieved. Third, we propose a method that determines each peer's cache capacity adaptively according to the constraint of the server's upload bandwidth. Against the proposed design objective, some selfish peers may not follow our protocol to increase their payoff. To detect such peers, we design a simple distributed reputation and monitoring system. Through simulations, we show that PECAN meets the server upload bandwidth constraint, and achieves the fairness well at each peer. We finally verify that the control overhead in PECAN caused by the search, reputation, and monitoring systems is very small, which is an important factor for real deployment.

Explosive growth of the Web and the non-uniform characteristics of client requests result in the performance degradation of Web servers, and server cache has been recognized as the solution. We analyzed Web server accessing characteristics-repetition, size, and locality of access. Based on the result, we analyzed the cache removal policies and proposed a prefetch strategy to improve the hit ratio of server caches. In addition, through the trace-driven simulation based on the traces from real Web sites, we showed the performance improvement by our proposal.

In client-solver environments, clients can execute applications without contact a server by storing data in its cache. To guarantee correction of applications, we need a cache consistency algorithm. Many cache consistency algorithms have been proposed, these were categorized by detection-based and avoidance-based algorithms. In this paper, we propose a new detection-based cache consistency algorithm that can reduce a burden of a client that has poor resource compare with a server Our method controls concurrency of transactions using timestamp ordering and updates a cache dynamically. In addition to we show that our method maintains a one-copy serializability.

Caching is one of essential functions in a wireless internet proxy server cluster. To serve best quality of service and choose suitable a proxy server for user, load balancer have to consider cache cooperation between proxy servers. Usually hashing is a simple way to support cache cooperation. In this paper, we compare and analysis static hashing and MD 5 that can be used for cache cooperation.

Recently, there have been many research efforts reported in the literature that focus on the cache consistency problems of mobile clients resulting from their frequent disconnections with a server in mobile environments. To cope with this problem, a number of methods based on the invalidation report scheme has been proposed. However, these proposed methods are sensitive to the disconnection time of mobile clients and independent of the frequency of data updates in the server. As a result, although the number of data updated in the server is small, the traditional methods can not guarantee the cache consistency of mobile clients if their disconnection time is over the time period the invalidation report is allowed to cover. In this paper, we propose an efficient cache consistency method called CCI(Cost-based Cache Invalidation) for mobile clients that take into account not only the disconnection time but also the frequencies of data updates in the server We also present an in-depth experimental analysis by comparing CCI method with BT(Broadcasting Time stamp) method based on Invalidation Report.

Caching web pages is an important part of web infrastructures. The effects of caching service are even more pronounced for wireless infrastructures due to their limited bandwidth. Medium to large-scale infrastructures deploy a cluster of servers to solve the scalability problem and hot spot problem inherent in caching. In this paper we present scheduling scheme based on cache utilization in a wireless internet proxy server cluster environment. The proposed method uses cache utilization for distributing evenly client requests to a cluster of cache servers and solving hot spot problem. We have implemented our approach and performed various experiments using publicly available traces. Experimental results on a cluster of 16 cache servers demonstrate that the proposed hashing method gives 45% to 114% Performance improvement over other widely used methods while addressing the hot spot problem.
