Local Area Networks (LAN) White Papers
LAN Based Web Caching
Overview Moore's law states that the number of transistors on an integrated circuit and therefore performance will double every 18 months. However, it takes fewer than 18 months for the Internet to double in size. This means that the increased processing power of the latest networking hardware cannot keep up with the increased burden on Internet backbones, routers and servers brought about by the rapid growth of the Internet. Problems of congestion on the Internet will therefore not be solved by improved hardware technology and increased bandwidth alone. Higher bandwidth Internet connections such as cable modem or ADSL only improve delivery of content from the ISP to the end user. They will not solve problems caused by overburdened servers or congested Internet routers. LAN based web caching however, can help improve this situation both for the user of the caching server and for the Internet at large.
