Replication

Requirements

• Distributed caching
• Preemptive replication
• Self-tuning low-management system
• Possibility of administrative control
• Firewall cache is special case
• Respect for intellectual property

Status

• Many caching systems -- may provide hook
• Several mirroring systems
• Discussion at recent IAB workshop (to be info RFC)
• Net load suggests urgency
