NetCache Architecture and Deployment

This paper describes the architecture of Network Appliance’s NetCache proxy cache. It discusses sizing proxy caches, contrasts the advantages and disadvantages of transparent caching, and reviews mechanisms to provide highly available caches. It also reports cache hit rates and summarizes our experience deploying proxy caching at Internet Service Providers (ISP) and corporate firewalls and intranets.
