Abstract

Proxy-cache deployment in LANs has become a current practice with well known benefits. For situations when a proxy-cache comes under constraints, due to increased load, and has to drop requests or perform cache replacement, we propose the alternative solution of cache-splitting. This means to dynamically deploy additional proxy-caches inside the LAN, and divert towards them some of the requests addressed to the original proxy-cache(s). By doing this, better response time, load balancing, higher availability and robustness of the service can be achieved than when using a single proxy-cache.
