Methods to Improve Performance of Data Transfer Over Network

Methods to Improve Performance of Data Transfer Over Network

1. Caching

   • Caching Algorithms
     • Bélády's Algorithm
       • To provide a standard for caching algorithms
     • Least Recently Used
       • Algorithm that discards least recently used data
     • Most Recently Used
       • Algorithm that discards most recently used data
     • Least Frequently Used
       • Algorithm that discards least frequently used data
     • Adaptive Replacement Cache
       • Algorithm that uses a combination of least recently and least frequently used
   • Proxy Caching
     • Reverse Proxy Caching
       • Intercept and handle requests to the web server to improve performance
     • Transparent Caching
       • Transparent Proxy to automatically adapt to popular content and avoid need for client-side updates
   • Adaptive Web Caching
     • To distribute data globally through caching
   • Push Caching
     • To cache content close to users
   • Active Caching
     • To provide caching for dynamic content

2. Prefetching

   • Link Prefetching
     • Standard Link Prefetching
       • To reduce waiting time by pre-loading the webpage
     • DNS Prefetching
       • To pre-load DNS lookups
     • Prerendering
       • To render the webpage in advance
     • Lazy-Load
       • To reduce waiting time by waiting to load pictures
     • To improve web browser experience

3. Buffering

   • Simple FIFO method to control network data flow
