B5 - Web Caching and Internet Content
Adaptation Protocol
ICAP
enables communication between edge content devices (Web caches and Internet
content delivery servers) and application servers that modify or process web
contents before delivering them to the Internet access devices. ICAP offers
a common communication infrastructure that streamlines services development,
and empowers edge devices like a cache to offer application services without
overloading the cache or slowing the response. We implemented an ICAP-based
Content Repurposing System, which can reformat the hypermedia Internet
content to fit different pervasive computing devices.
Applications
- Markup Language Translation (PDAs/Cell Phones)
- Data Compression
- Advertising Insertion
- Virus Scanning
- Human Language Translation
- Content Filtering, etc
Features
- An open and simple protocol allows any server or application provider
to implement it
- Simplify the implementation, reliability, and scalability of
value-added services
- Off-load value-added services to ICAP servers
