ABSTRACT:
In one embodiment, a method of processing data in a network with multiple proxy caches, includes: pushing cached data in a first proxy cache to at least one other proxy cache in a cluster configuration; caching the data from the first proxy cache; and permitting a client to access the data in the at least one other proxy cache in the cluster configuration. In another embodiment, a method of processing data in a network with multiple proxy caches, includes: providing a snapshot replica from a first server to second server; and permitting a proxy cache to access the second server for data in the snapshot replica, in response to a disconnect operation of the first server.
