This leads to cost savings, reduction in network traffic, improved access and better content availability. "Web Caching and Its Applications" gives the reader an understanding of the latest developments in Web caching research. Topics covered include architectural aspects, aspects requiring coordination among caches, aspects related to network traffic, techniques that complement caching, practical aspects, and aspects related to performance. While "Web Caching and Its Applications" is designed for a professional audience, students will appreciate the exercises for applying the knowledge to solving practical problems related to Web caching and Internet performance.
