| Abstract | Recently, the number of Internet users has dramatically increased. To sustain this growth by reducing high volume of traffic, bringing popular objects closer to the user is an idea of cache system. However cache systems still have many hindrances to be resolved such as redundant storing objects, manual configuration of all neighboring caches in the system and unnecessary inter-cache communication. Therefore a metadata has been introduced into cache system to overcome these problems. This approach is called WebHint system. Nevertheless, existing WebHint system still confronts with some drawbacks, such as the requested objects are retrieved from non-optimal location, since it does not take into account the network topology and network status. In this thesis, the routing mechanism is applied to improve the performance in proxy location selection for WebHint system in a large distributed caching system, where each cache server may be located in different networks or autonomous systems. Routing information and decision algorithm of Border Gateway Protocol are proposed to be incooperated into the WebHint system to select the appropriate object's location. The experimental results indicate that the proposed WebHint system (WebHintR) can effectively reduce user's response time up to 63% in the case where cache servers are distributed in different autonomous systems. |
