An Evaluation of Fault Tolerant TCP-Splice Based Web Server Architectures

Overview TCP splicing has been commonly used for increasing the performance of serving web content through proxies. Web server architectures built using TCP splicing suffer from two limitations: all traffic between clients and servers typically passes through the proxy, thus making the proxy scalability and performance bottlenecks; and this architecture cannot tolerate proxy failures. This paper uses simulation to evaluate the design of three different server architectures that address these limitations.
