A Resource/Connection Management Scheme for HTTP Proxy Servers

Although many research efforts have been devoted to the network congestion against an increase of the Internet traffic, there has been a little concern on improvement of the performance of Internet hosts in spite of the projection that the bottleneck is now being shifted from the network to hosts. We have proposed SSBT (Scalable Socket Buffer Tuning), which is intended to improve the performance of Web servers by maintaining their resources effectively and fairly, and validated its effectiveness through the simulation and implementation experiments
