A forward cache is a cache outside the web server's network, e.g. in the client's web browser, in an ISP, or within a corporate network. [3] A network-aware forward cache only caches heavily accessed items. [4] A proxy server sitting between the client and web server can evaluate HTTP headers and choose whether to store web content.
A peer-to-peer (P2P) network in which interconnected nodes ("peers") share resources amongst each other without the use of a centralized administrative system. Peer-to-peer (P2P) computing or networking is a distributed application architecture that partitions tasks or workloads between peers.
Elizabeth Feinler and her team (who had created the Resource Directory for ARPANET) were responsible for creating the first WHOIS directory in the early 1970s. [3] Feinler set up a server in Stanford's Network Information Center (NIC) which acted as a directory that could retrieve relevant information about people or entities. [4]
A web service (WS) is either: . a service offered by an electronic device to another electronic device, communicating with each other via the Internet, or; a server running on a computer device, listening for requests at a particular port over a network, serving web documents (HTML, JSON, XML, images).
If a network is a local area network (LAN) or wide area network (WAN), every LAN or WAN node that participates on the data link layer must have a network address, typically one for each network interface controller it possesses. Examples are computers, a DSL modem with Ethernet interface and wireless access point.
Nginx may be configured to serve static web content or to act as a proxy server. [20] Nginx can be deployed to also serve dynamic content on the network using FastCGI, SCGI handlers for scripts, WSGI application servers or Phusion Passenger modules, and can serve as a software load balancer. [21] [20]
The Internet Content Adaptation Protocol (ICAP) is a lightweight HTTP-like protocol specified in RFC 3507, which is used to extend transparent proxy servers, thereby freeing up resources and standardizing the way in which new features are implemented.
A tag cloud (a typical Web 2.0 phenomenon in itself) presenting Web 2.0 themes. Web 2.0 (also known as participative (or participatory) [1] web and social web) [2] refers to websites that emphasize user-generated content, ease of use, participatory culture, and interoperability (i.e., compatibility with other products, systems, and devices) for end users.
