Nowadays, Web caching technique has been widely used and become one of the most promising ways to reduce network traffic, server load, and user-experienced latency while users surf the Web. In the context of traditional systems, caching techniques have been extensively studied. However, these techniques are not directly applicable to Web due to larger size of working set and cache storage in proxies. Many studies have presented their approaches to improving the performance of Web caching. Two of most representative approaches are hash routing [25] and directory-base digest [12]. Hash routing provides amapping fromthe URL of object to the location of proxy, which has the cached object, while directory-based digest records the pairs of proxy locations and object URLs for answering the query when local misses occur in any proxy. Hash routing can best utilize storage space by eliminating duplicated objects among proxies,while directory-based digest allows object replicas among proxies to resist proxy failures. These two conventional approaches have complementary tradeoffs.
In this thesis, a comprehensive approach to cooperative caching for Web proxies, using a combination of hash routing and directory-based digest, is presented. Our approach tends to subsume these widely used approaches and thus gives a spectrum of trade-off between the overall hit ratio and its associated overhead. Through the simulations using real-life proxy traces, the performance and overhead of our proposed mechanism were evaluated. The experimental results showed that our approach outperforms the previous competitors.
