    Fa18-Bse-029 Huzaifa Waheed Assignment 1:: Web Caching

    Uploaded by

    Web caching reduces delay by storing requested objects from the origin server on proxy servers. When a user requests an object that is cached, the proxy server can serve it directly without contacting the origin server, reducing response time. However, caching only reduces delay for objects that are present in the cache. Not all objects requested will be cached, so caching only reduces delay for some requests, not all. For the fastest transaction between a remote client and server, UDP would be preferred over TCP. UDP requires only a single network roundtrip to complete a request/response transaction, while TCP requires a minimum of two roundtrips - one for connection establishment and another for the actual request/response.

    Assignment 1:

    Q#1.
    Describe how Web caching can reduce the delay in receiving a requested object. Will Web
    caching reduce the delay for all objects requested by a user or for only some of the objects?
    Why?

    Answer:

    Web caching:
    Basically web caching is the temporary storage of documents , images , video files and html
    pages to reduce bandwidth usage. Web caching is activity of storing data for reuse. It is stored
    when the user first time visits the page and the next time a user requests the same page then a
    cache will serve the copy so this process keeps the origion server from getting overloaded.

    how Web caching can reduce the delay in receiving a requested object:
    when the user requests an object first time from origin server then the response from the
    server is stored in the proxy server . now when the user requests the same object again then
    the proxy server will respond and proceed the user request instead of origin server. web
    caching can reduce the response time for clients requests only when the cache has requested
    object. So this will reduce the delay in receiving a requested objects.

    Will Web caching reduce the delay for all objects requested by a user or for
    only some of the objects:
    No web caching will not reduce the delay for all objects it will only reduce the delay for
    requests when the cache or proxy server has requested object otherwise it will not reduce the
    response time.

    For reducing response time the proxy server or cache must have client requested object. The
    whole procedure is discussed above.
    Q#2.
    Suppose you wanted to do a transaction from a remote client to a server as fast as
    possible. Would you use UDP or TCP? Why?

    Answer:
    I would use UDP. With UDP, the transaction can be completed in one roundtrip time (RTT) - the
    client sends the transaction request into a UDP socket, and the server sends the reply back to
    the client's UDP socket. But With TCP, a minimum of two RTTs are needed - one to set-up the
    TCP connection, and another for the client to send the request, and for the server to send back
    the reply. As client is in remote area and for fast transaction I will prefer UDP.
