A Proposal of Effective Cooperative Caching System Based on Random Access Assumption

摘要

In this letter, we propose an effective cooperative caching system under the assumption that each web object is accessed randomly. Under this assumption, the access frequency per unit time is given by Pois-son distribution and the probability distribution of the web object in the future is derived. Based on this probability distribution, one can obtain the criterion to allocate the web objects with more access expected to the cache servers closer to clients. It is also shown that there is a tradeoff between the precision to allocate objects and the efficiency of caching.
