Efficient Caching Techniques for Server Network Acceleration
Overview A majority of server applications such as web server, database, E-mail, storage, etc. process a lot of network data, making them very network I/O intensive. TCP/IP is the most commonly used network protocol by these applications. TCP/IP runs over Ethernet, which is the de-facto Local Area Network (LAN) protocol. Rapid growth of Internet-enabled applications has resulted in development of faster Ethernet network technologies (from 100 Mbps to 1 and 10 Gbps). This sudden jump in Ethernet speeds necessitates TCP/IP processing to scale proportionately so that the server applications can ultimately benefit. This turns out to be a big challenge for server platforms, given that the CPU and memory speeds improve at a slower rate (tracking Moore's law).
