A Hybrid Web Caching Design Model for Internet-Content Delivery

Abstract

The need for online contents (or resources) to be shared and distributed in a large and sophisticated networks of users, geographical dispersed location of servers and their clients, time taken to fulfil clients requests pose major challenge. Therefore the choice of suitable architecture for
Internet-based content delivery (ICD) technologies readily comes to mind. To achieve this, Akamai and Gnutella Web technologies are extensively reviewed to identify their strengths and weakness because of their popularity across the world for delivering contents. This new design for Internet-based content distribution is called AkaGnu because of the extra layer (Gnutella network)
inserted into Akamai architecture, which provides greater Internet edge over each technology deployed independently. The paper presents a new ICD technology that performs better than Akamai system as a result of new features and behaviours introduced that reduce network traffic, more clients Internet connectivity, increase file sharing, improved speed of contents deliveries, and
enhanced network security.
