Integrated Web Cache

Frontera includes Web Caching for HTTP traffic (including YouTube videos). This speeds up Internet access by storing frequently used Web objects on the server.

Web caching is the ability for a server or computer to 'cache' or save Web pages and their individual elements onto its internal storage. When a Web surfer calls for the page, parameters determine whether it's more efficient to ask for the page from the original Web server over the Internet (takes more time) or directly from Frontera (saves time). In addition, a rudimentary check is performed to assure that the locally cached information is still valid. Since pages are served locally whenever appropriate, performance is improved using less expensive connection scenarios, saving bandwidth and access costs.
