Efficient Caching Proxy Server Parameters: An Integrated Approach

摘要

Caching web proxy server improves the performance of over all web access. Since all the parameters of efficient cache performance are time and locality dependent, no single policy of caching proxy servers is ultimate and applicable for ever. To get more and more efficient performance of caching proxies, history based analysis for a specific locality is found advantageous. Using the history based algorithm popularity of web objects was determined which then further utilized for replacement of cache objects. This approach assures service of updated documents to the clients. Soft caching was used for storing low resolution versions of images which provides efficient and effective services to the clients. Study of various formats of image storing policies have enabled us for getting memory requirements of web objects which turn is closely related to the bandwidth utilization. An integrated approach of studying caching proxy server, recording history of web access, soft caching, improve over all efficiency of web proxy servers.
