TL;DR: In this paper, the authors propose a method for prefetching web pages into the client cache by sending reference information to Web servers, which aggregate the reference information in near-real-time and then disperse the aggregated information to all clients, piggybacked on GET responses.

Abstract: This paper develops a new method for prefetching Web pages into the client cache. Clients send reference information to Web servers, which aggregate the reference information in near-real-time and then disperse the aggregated information to all clients, piggybacked on GET responses. The information indicates how often hyperlink URLs embedded in pages have been previously accessed relative to the embedding page. Based on knowledge about which hyperlinks are generally popular, clients initiate prefetching of the hyperlinks and their embedded images according to any algorithm they prefer. Both client and server may cap the prefetching mechanism's space overhead and waste of network resources due to speculation. The result of these differences is improved prefetching: lower client latency (by 52.3%) and less wasted network bandwidth (24.0%).

- 29 Mar 2002
TL;DR: In this paper, a method of pre-fetching and preparing content in an information processing system is presented, where the content is pre-fetched based on information contained within the at least one content pre fetching policy.

End-to-end WAN service availability
TL;DR: It is found that caching alone is seldom effective at insulating services from failures but that the combination of mobile extension code and prefetching can improve average unavailability by as much as an order of magnitude for classes of service whose semantics support disconnected operation.

Characterizing reference locality in the WWW
Virgilio Almeida,Azer Bestavros,Mark Crovella,A.B. de Oliveira +3 more
- 01 Dec 1996
TL;DR: The authors propose models for both temporal and spatial locality of reference in streams of requests arriving at Web servers and show that temporal locality can be characterized by the marginal distribution of the stack distance trace, and proposed models for typical distributions and compare their cache performance to the traces.

Exploring the bounds of web latency reduction from caching and prefetching
Thomas M. Kroeger,Darrell D. E. Long,Jeffrey C. Mogul +2 more
- 08 Dec 1997
TL;DR: It is concluded that for the workload studied caching offers moderate assistance in reducing latency and prefetching can offer more than twice the improvement of caching but is still limited in its ability to reduce latency.
Potential benefits of delta encoding and data compression for HTTP
Jeffrey C. Mogul,Fred Douglis,Anja Feldmann,Balachander Krishnamurthy +3 more
- 01 Oct 1997
TL;DR: It is shown that delta encoding can provide remarkable improvements in response size and response delay for an important subset of HTTP content types, and that the combination of delta encoding and data compression yields the best results.
Web proxy caching: the devil is in the details
Ramón Cáceres,Fred Douglis,Anja Feldmann,Gideon Glass,Michael Rabinovich +4 more
- 01 Dec 1998
TL;DR: In this paper, Trace-driven simulation of the modem pool of a large ISP suggests that "cookies" dramatically affect the cachability of resources; wasted bandwidth due to aborted connections can more than offset the savings from cached documents; and using a proxy to keep from repeatedly opening new TCP connections can reduce latency more than simply caching data.

Using speculation to reduce server load and service time on the WWW
Azer Bestavros
- 02 Dec 1995
TL;DR: It is shown that both server load and service time could be reduced considerably, if speculative service is used and a number of parameters that could be used to fine-tune the level of speculation performed by the server based on thelevel of lookahead, the state of the network, the tradeoffs between bulk and individual transmission of documents, and the relative popularity of documents.
