Abstract
Proxy caches for content on the Internet are high-performance platforms with complex software services. Because they understand application semantics, and because they have a great deal of memory, they are the natural place for new services that are tailored closely to site or user preferences and requirements. The engineering aspects of caches and how they contribute to a new network infrastructure for highly capable or intelligent services are examined in this paper.
