LSAM – Large Scale Active Middleware

About LSAM

The LSAM Proxy Cache uses multicast push of related web pages, based on automatically-selected interest groups, to load caches at natural network aggregation points. The proxy is designed to reduce server and network load,
and increase client performance.
