| Abstract | While overall bandwidth in the internet has grown rapidly over the last few years, and an increasing number of clients enjoy broadband connectivity, many others still access the internet over much slower dialup or wireless links. To address this issue, a number of techniques for optimized delivery of web and multimedia content over slow links have been proposed, including protocol optimizations, caching, compression, and multimedia transcoding, and several large ISPs have recently begun to widely promote dialup acceleration services based on such techniques. A recent paper by Rhea, Liang, and Brewer proposed an elegant technique called value-based caching that caches substrings of files, rather than entire files, and thus avoids repeated transmission of substrings common to several pages or page versions.We propose and study a hierarchical substring caching technique that provides significant savings over this basic approach. We describe several additional techniques for minimizing overheads and perform an evaluation on a large set of real web access traces that we collected. In the second part of our work, we compare our approach to a widely studied alternative approach based on delta compression, and show how to integrate the two for best overall performance. The studied techniques are typically employed in a client-proxy environment, with each proxy serving a large number of clients, and an important aspect is how to conserve resources on the proxy while exploiting the significant memory and CPU power available on current clients. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
