ABSTRACT:
A network acceleration device provides application programming interface (API) that facilitates the sharing of cache resources among multiple network acceleration devices, thereby allowing the network acceleration devices to be clustered and share a common cache of network content. This clustered approach may advantageously allow clients serviced by one network acceleration device to benefit from previous network access requests issued by clients serviced by a different network acceleration device of the cluster.
