Abstract

Caching multimedia objects is essential for their successful deployment in the Internet. This paper reviews some of the main issues involved in building such a caching mechanism, and proposes to use CASCADE, a CORBA distributed caching service, as a platform for Internet caching of multimedia objects. In particular, the applicability of CASCADE's model for caching multimedia objects is explored, including issues of consistency, scalability, management, security, and support for partial evacuation during cache replacement.
