Current popular web-browsers simply fetch the entire web-page from the server in a greedy fashion. This simple web fetching mechanism employed by browsers is inappropriate for use in low-bandwidth networks, since they cause large response times for users unneccesarily. In this paper, we first analyze the reasons that cause large response times by considering several factors including the properties of typical web-pages and browsers, the interaction of the HTTP and TCP protocols, and the impact of server-side optimization techniques. We then propose three easy-to-deploy browser-side optimization mechanisms to reduce the user response time. Through simulations, we compare the performance of our solution with that of current browsers and show that the proposed scheme brings significant performance benefits in terms of user-perceived response times.

“…Traditional content delivery networks (CDNs) often host Web applications using techniques such as fragment caching whereby (fragments of) the generated pages are cached at the edge servers [7,10,18]. This technique performs well if the temporal locality of requests is high and if the underlying database is updated rarely.…”

Generic database replication algorithms do not scale linearly in throughput as all update, deletion and insertion (UDI) queries must be applied to every database replica. The throughput is therefore limited to the point where the number of UDI queries alone is sufficient to overload one server. In such scenarios, partial replication of a database can help, as UDI queries are executed only by a subset of all servers. In this paper we propose GlobeTP, a system that employs partial replication to improve database throughput. Glo-beTP exploits the fact that a Web application's query workload is composed of a small set of read and write templates. Using knowledge of these templates and their respective execution costs, GlobeTP provides database table placements that produce significant improvements in database throughput. We demonstrate the efficiency of this technique using two different industry standard benchmarks. In our experiments, GlobeTP increases the throughput by 57% to 150% compared to full replication, while using identical hardware configuration. Furthermore, adding a single query cache improves the throughput by another 30% to 60%.

“…Scalable data delivery has often been approached through data caching and replication such as, for example, in client or proxy caches [11,16], server-side caches [10], and content-delivery networks [22]. Moreover, back-end methods are deployed between a web server and a back-end database server and include web server cache plug-in mechanisms and asynchronous caches [5,17,18,19].…”

A major problem in web database applications and on the Internet in general is the scalable delivery of data. One proposed solution for this problem is a hybrid system that uses multicast push to scalably deliver the most popular data, and reserves traditional unicast pull for delivery of less popular data. However, such a hybrid scheme introduces a variety of data management problems at the server. In this paper we examine three of these problems: the push popularity problem, the document classification problem, and the bandwidth division problem. The push popularity problem is to estimate the popularity of the documents in the web site. The document classification problem is to determine which documents should be pushed and which documents must be pulled. The bandwidth division problem is to determine how much of the server bandwidth to devote to pushed documents and how much of the server bandwidth should be reserved for pulled documents. We propose simple and elegant solutions for these problems. We report on experiments with our system that validate our algorithms.
