Caching Resources

Here are a few resources you can use to find additional information about caching. Caching vendors ' web sites are listed in Section 1.8.

Web Sites

See the following web sites for more information about web caching:

http://www.web-caching.com

This well-designed site contains a lot of up-to-date information, including product information, press releases, links to magazine articles online, industry events, and job postings. The site also has a bulletin board discussion forum. The banner ads at the top of every page are mildly annoying.

http://www.caching.com

This professional site is full of web caching information in the form of press releases, upcoming events, vendor white papers, online magazine articles, and analyst commentaries. The site is apparently sponosred by a number of the caching companies.

http://www.web-cache.com

At my own site for caching information, you'll find mostly links to other web sites, including caching vendors and caching- related services. I also try to keep up with relevant technical documents (e.g., RFCs) and research papers.

http://dmoz.org/Computers/Software/Internet/Servers/Proxy/Caching/

The Open Directory Project has a decent- sized collection of web caching links at the above URL.

http://www.wrec.org

The Web Replication and Caching (WREC) working group of the IETF is officially dead, but this site still has some useful information.

http://www.iwcw.org

This site provides information about the series of annual International Web Caching Workshops.

Mailing Lists

The following mailing lists discuss various aspects of web caching:

isp-caching

Currently the most active caching-related mailing list. Averages about 2 “3 messages per day. Posting here is likely to result in a number of salespeople knocking on your mailbox. One of the great things about this list is that replies automatically go back to the list unless the message composer is careful. On many occasions people have posted messages that they wish they could take back! For more information, visit http://www.isp-caching.com.

WEBI

WEBI (Web Intermediaries) is a new IETF working group, replacing WREC. The discussion is bursty , averaging about 1 “2 messages per day. This is not an appropriate forum for discussion of web caching in general; topics should be related to the working group charter. Currently the group is addressing intermediary discovery (a la WPAD) and the resource update protocol. For additional information, including the charter and subscription instructions, visit http://www.ietf.org/html. charters /webi-charter.html.

HTTP working group

Although the HTTP working group is officially dead, the mailing list still receives a small amount of traffic. Messages are typically from somebody asking for clarification about the RFC. For subscription information and access to the archives, visit http://www.ics.uci.edu/pub/ietf/http/hypermail/.

loadbalancing

The people on this list discuss all aspects of load balancing, including hints for configuring specific hardware, performance issues, and security alerts. Traffic averages about 3 “4 messages per day. For more more information, visit http://www.lbdigest.com.
