Data Grid is a good solution to large scale data management problems including efficient file transfer and replication. Dynamic data replication in Data Grid aims to improve data access time and to utilize network and storage resources efficiently. Since the data files are very large and the Grid storages are limited, managing replicas in storages for the purpose of more effective utilization o...

A cache replacement algorithm called probability based replacement (PBR) is proposed in this paper. The algorithm makes replacement decision based on the byte access probabilities of documents. This concept can be applied to both small conventional web documents and large video documents. The performance of PBR algorithm is studied by both analysis and simulation. By comparing cache hit probabi...

Because of rapid increase in link capacity, an Internet router has to complete routing lookup function in a much shorter amount of time in order to keep up with the line rate. Many fast routing lookup algorithms have been proposed in the past. Because most of them require some memory accesses, their lookup speed is limited by memory access speed. IP address caching has been used to improve upon...
