Internet acceleration
Internet acceleration has little to do with the speed at which data
moves down your telephone line. That is dictated by your hardware and how
many kilobits per second it isimmediately set to work discovering fault
capable of pumping through. Most Internet accelerators behave as proxy
servers, a sort of software middleman between your browser and the Net. In
other words, a software accelerator is an active agent that intercepts and
anticipates your requests for pages and smartly manages when and from
where the page is downloaded.
While adding extra steps to a download may seem illogical, it helps to
picture it like this; a benevolent neighbour overhears you ordering a
delivery pizza, has one in the oven he's been saving just for this
occasion and cheerfully tosses it over the fence. And when he gets really
pro-active, he's out shopping for things he thinks you might like later
and storing them up. This is called read-ahead caching and is foremost
amongst techniques used to make the whole Net experience happen faster.
Read-ahead page caching
The current crop of accelerators work mostly by employing read-ahead
page caching. Instead of having to retrieve a page from the often-distant
server, your browser gets it straight off your hard drive where it's been
previously stashed. Read-ahead page caching can be divided into two
categories; link based and history based.
