When users of mobile environments move fast or slow into a number of base stations(BS) and request the services of continuous media data such as video or audio, this study examines what the caching has the usefulness in mobile environments. Namely, to reduce packet disconnections and network overheads in mobile environments and minimize transmission delay time, we propose domain-based hierarchical caching structure and study whether application of caching has the usefulness. So we have a model based on user environments and hierarchical network structure to process continuous media services, and analyze the usefulness of caching which depends on the mobile patterns of user and the locations of caching nodes. And then, we research whether caching offers the usefulness in mobile environments. As the result, we are able to see that an adaptable application of caching is needed because the hit ratio and the number of replacement vary in large according to mobile patterns of user and locations of caching.

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.

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.

무선 어플리케이션 서비스 시스템 구축시 가장 중요한 역할을 담당하는 장비는 WAP Proxy 서버이다. 캐시 기능이 추가된 WAP Proxy 서버는 캐시 서버와 Gateway가 연동하여 해당 URL의 Request에 대한 응답 시간(response time)을 줄이기 위해 구현된 시스템이다. 본 논문은 캐시 기능을 이용한 WAP Proxy 서버의 성능을 측정하기 위해, 별도로 구현한 성능 측정 시스템을 이용, 그 성능은 비교 분석했다. 성능 측정 시스템은 C로 구현했으며, 실시간으로 그 결과를 확인 할 수 있다.

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.

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 limitations and needs of the wireless internet. 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 CD-A structure which can be scalable in a systematic way but it also has disadvantages; its communication structure among modules is partly complex. In this paper, we proposed a consolidated scheme which has a systematic scalability and an efficient communication structure among modules. We performed experiments using 16 PCs and experimental results show 196% and 40% performance improvement of the proposed system compared to the TranSend and the CD-A system, respectively.

A distributed web caching system can transmit information to a user quickly and stably, avoiding a congested internet network by storing and later supplying requested content to a cache that is distributed and shared like a proxy server. This paper proposes a client-based distributed web caching system that assigns an object and controls the load using a user's direct connection to shared caches, without the aid of additional domain name system (DNS) requests. The proposed system simplifies information transmission by reducing both DNS queries and delay time.

이동 컴퓨팅 환경에서의 프록시는 트랜스코딩과 캐슁 등의 방법으로 미디어 스트림을 재가공하여 멀티미디어 스트리밍의 연속성을 보장해 준다. 프록시에 대한 기존의 접근들은 대체로 트랜스코딩과 캐슁을 별개의 주제로 다루었었다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 트랜스코딩과 캐슁을 통할하여 연동시킨 프록시 시스템 아키텍처를 구현하였다. 또한 서버와 프록시 사이의 전송 지연. 프록시에서의 미디어 스트림 재가공에 걸리는 지연, 프록시와 클라이언트 사이의 bandwidth 자원 등을 창조하여 adaptive한 트랜스코딩 및 캐슁을 할 수 있도록 해주는 transco-prefix caching에 대해 제안하였다. 그 결과 transco-prefix caching을 통하여 트랜스코딩과 캐슁의 장점들을 동시에 살필 수 있었다.

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.
