A cooperative cache architecture in support of caching
multimedia objects in MANETs
Critique : Weijia Che
SUMMARY:
This paper presents an application layer level scheme to improve
routing protocols
performance. Cooperative caching architecture is adopted. Also, both
Cache & Profile
Based data location schemes are explored. Significant QoS improvements
&
Bandwidth Consumption Reduction were achieved and demonstrated by
simulation
using NS simulator.
PROs:
The scheme is implemented in a high level layer, indicating
that it could be
highly adaptive.
Cooktail approach is adopted to achieve the least effort to
find data
resources.
Inter-category and intra-category rules are used to reduce
caching
duplications, which at the same time, improve the overall
capacity of
cooperative cashes.
CONs:
Security is not taken into consideration in this paper.
However, it is some
kind of important one when regarding to cash service.
The low power factors are not fully explored.
The factors taken into account when implement profile-based
resolution is
intuitive and not enough to produce good results.
