ABSTRACT
The second type is caching software, which is likely to stay targeted at enterprises, as it requires users to purchase the necessary server hardware and install the software themselves.
The primary benefit of both types of caching is better performance. Moving content closer to the user reduces the number of router hops it has to traverse, so performance improves.Also,just cutting the distance between user and content speeds up the connection. Finally, a local cache server may be less loaded and better designed for performance than the originating content server. These factors cut page-load times by one-half or one-third of the time needed to retrieve the page from the original server.
