Distributed cache management architecture: To reduce the internet traffic by integrating browser and proxy caches

Abstract

The World Wide Web is one of the most popular Internet applications, and its traffic volume is increasing and evolving due to the popularity of social networking, file hosting, and video streaming sites. Wide ranges of research have been done on this field and numbers of architecture exist for caching those web content. Each of those has their own advantages and limitations. Browser caches handle single user by caching and storing web content on user computer. Where the proxy caches could handles thousands of users by handling, providing, and optimizing those web contents. But the World Wide Web (WWW) suffers from scaling and reliability problems due to overloaded and congested proxy servers. Distributed and Hierarchical architecture could be integrated as hybrid architecture for better performance and efficiency. Based on the secondary information by literature review, this paper is aimed to propose few feasible strategies to improve the cache management architecture by integrating browser with proxy caches server, where the browser cache will act as proxy cache server by sharing its content through hybrid architecture. This paper will also focus on the present architecture and challenges of current system that are needed to be resolved.
