Abstract
Large client-server data intensive applications can place high demands on
system and network resources. This is especially true when the connection
between the client and server spans a wide-area internet link. In this
paper, we consider changing the typical client-server architecture of a
class of data intensive applications. We show that given sufficient
common interest among multiple clients, our enhancements reduce the
response time per-client and reduce the amount of data sent across the
wide-area link. In addition, we also see a reduction in server
utilization which helps to improve server scalability as more clients are
added to the system.
