Title
Transparent Distributed Web Caching With Minimum Expected Response Time
Abstract
Web caching is a standard approach to improving the performance and quality of Web services. The effectiveness; of a single cache in this environment, however, is relatively low. Caches hit rates of 40% or lower are typical in the Web. Distributed caching seeks to improve the effectiveness of Web caching by supporting the sharing of data across multiple cache servers.In this paper we describe the Minimum expected Response Time (MRT) distributed Web caching scheme. MRT uses a Layer 5 switch to transparently redirect cacheable HTTP requests to the cache server with the minimum expected response time. The response time estimate is produced based on information about cache server content, cache server workload, Web server workload and network latency. We present simulation experiments to show that MRT outperforms existing distributed Web caching schemes in terms of average HTTP request response times.
