Abstract

In this paper, we have proposed scalable protocols for the Internet to reduce service time and server load. In this approach, we assume that a client cooperates by acting as a server to the cached web pages. To reduce the service time, the server forwards the incoming requests to other clients which have cached the web pages. As a result, the service time scales well as server load increases. Also, with these protocols, the traffic is evenly distributed among the network. This approach is a generalization of caching technology. However, for implementation, the proposed approach requires support from the Internet user, system development, and governing communities. If adopted, we believe that the proposed approach provides a scalable solution to the problems of server overloading and long service times in the Internet.
