Abstract

The exponential growth of dynamic Web content has posed serious challenges to the scalability of the World Wide Web. While caching on the edge of the Internet has emerged as a popular technique to address these challenges, many of the present-day edge caching systems do not harness the complete benefits of edge computing. Our research efforts in the cooperative edge cache grid project are aimed at utilizing collaboration among edge caches as a means to further enhance the capabilities and the performance of edge cache network. This paper outlines the cooperative EC grid project including its architecture, fundamental concepts, and various techniques that have been designed for supporting low-cost cooperation among the edge caches.
