| Abstract | The World Wide Web (WWW) continues to grow at an exponential rate, leading to the problems of access latency and overloaded servers. The distributed cooperative caching concept is applied throughout the Internet community to reduce bandwidth usage, improve web server availability and improve user access latency. The distributed cooperative caching system is a group of web caches sharing their contents and workloads. However, cache consistency could not be satisfactorily manageable. Some cached objects are not up-to-date, thus they could not serve user requests immediately. Multicast push technology is proposed to improve the quality of web caching system. WWW documents are continuously delivered to all member caches by reliable multicast transmission. Analysis of user access patterns is designed to accurately predict the objects which are going to be referenced in the future. Concerning bandwidth optimization, caches are designed to dynamically subscribe and unsubscribe to the push operation depending on their interests. Experimental results obtained from this study demonstrate that the multicast push caching system improves the performance of the original cache system. Extra bandwidth usage is spent on data distribution to update cached contents. The proposed system can effectively support the scalability of the cooperative caching sytem because the data distribution is based on multicast technology which provides optimal bandwidth usage. |
