USC/ISI:
Touch, Hughes
Server presend contents of ALL linked items,
Files cached on a co-located client proxy.
Uses available bandwidth (from idle periods or excess capacity),
Based on the Mirage formal model of communication latency.
USC/ISI:
Touch, Oswal,
Hughes
Servers maintain related sets of documents called "channels"
Users subscribe to desired "channels"
A request for a document in a channel causes the server to multicast the
requested file to all channel subscribers.
Boston University: Bestavros,
Cunha
Server presending based on client request history.
Object Caching Environments for Applications and Network Services group,
Prefetching and Speculative Service on the Web project,

Mogul's server-side mechanisms

Server-side presending using Markove chains to model the prediction stream.
-
NAIST Information Network Laboratory:
-
Fetches anchors and in-line images in HTML, and prefetches. Cache saves
its own prefetches.
-
Supports the Internet Cache Protocol (ICP) - QUERY, HIT, MISS.
-
"Catalyst mode" separates prefetching proxy from primary caching proxy.
Berkeley: Welsh
A cooperating set of caching proxy servers maintaining popular web documents.
UCLA/LBNL-NRG:
Zhang,
Floyd, Jacobson
Tries to simulate multicast distribution of files by forming a mesh of
caching servers. A second request to any of these servers for a stored
page is like multicasting the file to all requesting parties.
