  1. Infrastructure for Better Quality Internet Access & Web Publishing without Increasing Bandwidth Prof. Chi Chi Hung School of Computing, National University of Singapore Lower Kent Ridge Road, Singapore 119260 Email: chich@comp.nus.edu.sg David Goss Microbits Email: dgoss@microbits.com.au

  2. QoS Content Delivery Services & its Challenges

  3. Internet Content Delivery Today 56 Kbps 10/100 Mbps Internet hi 1-to-Many (Dynamic) hola Client: Last Mile Access Centralized Content Servers Content

  4. Basic Content Delivery Problems • THREE BIG PROBLEMS: • Long latency for the ever increasing bandwidth. • Increasing bandwidth cannot catch up with increasing network demand. • High client expectation with commercial and real-life applications. • Fast network is never fast enough with ever increasing user’s real-time expectation. • Content creation and delivery heading in opposite directions. • Easy handling of sophisticated multimedia data usually means longer delay time for web surfing.

  5. Content Delivery Challenges • THREE GOALS: • Fast Content Delivery for the given bandwidth. • Quality Content Presentation under wide variations of clients/devices/networks. • Efficient Content Management & Monitoring for one single source of content and network resource.

  6. Content Delivery Approaches… • Four APPROACHES: • Client Plug-ins: “Fat clients doing work in the last stage of delivery?” • Server: “Network is computing, is computing outside network?” • Proxy Gateway: “Network is computing, is selective computing inside the network?” • Data Replication “Web data is replicated in servers at the client edge of Internet, how big is the client population for cost effective solution?” • Considerations: • Cost Effectiveness • Server Collaboration • Client Constraints • Action Point of Tasks

  7. Recommended Direction “Network is computing and business; selected computing, services and policy management is in the network.” “1-to-many ACTIVE PROXY CACHE solution as compared to individual server or client approach.”

  10. Four Delivery Techniques • INCREASING DELIVERY SPEED FOR A GIVEN BANDWIDTH: • Caching for data reuse • Compression for reducing bandwidth consumption for a given amount of information. • Acceleration for improving latency time of 1st time access. • Priority for important web access.

  13. Fast Delivery Techniques (I): Caching Internet (Large Backbone ISP) ISP Content Content Proxy Cache Reverse Proxy Cache Content Content Caching • Forward Proxy for Clients: • Save international bandwidth • Reduce server workload • Reduce access latency through local access • Reverse Proxy for Servers: • Cost-effective sol’n than server through specialized hardware • Reduce server workload • Memory access instead of disk operation

  14. Fast Delivery Techniques (I): Caching • Necessary but Not Sufficient … • 1st Web Object Retrieval over 70% web objects without reuse • SMEs low volume network traffic implies less caching effect; slower links also shift bottleneck from startup time to network delay. • Non-Cachable Decision for dynamic data content. • Over-Demand for Network Bandwidth for a fixed amount of data information.

Fast Delivery Techniques (II): Compression Compression Web Page Retrieval: • Compression Proxy: • Reducing BW consumption through lossless & lossy compression • Improve response time of surfing (in particular, modem & reverse proxy) • Browser support through HTTP

Fast Delivery Techniques (III): Acceleration Acceleration Web Page Retrieval: • Acceleration Proxy: • Acceleration through parallel fetch of objects in proxy • Re-scheduling for early object fetching • No increase in bandwidth demand.

  18. Fast Delivery Techniques (IV): Priority Internet (Large Backbone ISP) ISP Active Proxy Cache Active Reverse Proxy Cache Priority Access • Priority Proxy: • Different user groups assigned with different priority level to use network. • Better load balancing network usage. • Important to situations with VIP or super users. • Priority Based on: • User ID and IP addresses. • Object sizes and types. • Time of access. • Destination.

  19. Fast Delivery Solutions (I) • Opportunity 1: Active Proxy Cache • Caching to shortcut data retrieval path to local machine and to reduce international bandwidth consumption. • Acceleration to speedup necessary accesses of web data retrievals through parallelism and re-scheduling of object retrieval. • Compression and Transcoding to reduce bandwidth consumption for the same amount of content (important for wireless and low-speed modem accesses). • Priority Access to allocate more bandwidth to more urgent/important requests.

  20. Fast Delivery Solutions (II) • Opportunity 2: Active Reverse Proxy Cache • Caching to reduce delay due to server I/O and disk operations. • Compression and Transcoding to reduce bandwidth consumption for the same amount of content.

  24. Sample Case Study

  25. Typical Education Environment & Needs • Limited Number of Students • Caching is important, but its effect is limited (e.g. hit ratio less than 30%). • Accelerating 1st time access is very important. • Typical acceleration gain is about 20% to 40%. • Teaching Staff and Students • Larger number of students over staff implies the importance of higher priorities for web requests related to teaching and staff administration. • Content Management • Centralized content management in the institution gateway is critical.
