Abstract :
A distributed, self-organizing cooperative caching mechanism for WWW is proposed. The servers maintain a cooperative cache without a centralized server, adapt themselves to the change of network speed and server addition and failure, and need little manual administration. A performance study shows that the proposed mechanism improves the user´s response time by 34.0% over conventional proxies
