Prefetching the means for document transfer: a new approach for reducing Web latency
Edith Cohen,Haim Kaplan +1 more
TLDR
Simple techniques that address factors contributing to user-perceived latency, including DNS lookup times, transmission control protocol connection–establishment, and start-of-session delays at hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP) servers are proposed, which have a potential to significantly reduce long waits.About:

An architecture for content routing support in the internet
Mark Gritter,David R. Cheriton +1 more
TL;DR: It is claimed that this content routing design based on name-based routing as part of an explicit Internet content layer is a natural extension of current Internet directory and routing systems, allows efficient content location, and can be implemented to scale with the Internet.

On the effectiveness of DNS-based server selection
TL;DR: This paper draws attention to two of the main issues in using DNS: the negative effects of reducing or eliminating the cache lifetimes of DNS information, and the implicit assumption that client nameservers are indicative of actual client location and performance.

Method and apparatus for increasing performance of HTTP over long-latency links
TL;DR: In this paper, an agent and gateway together assist a web browser in fetching HTTP contents faster from Internet Web sites over long-latency data links, by coordinating the fetching of selective embedded objects in such a way that an object is ready and available on a host platform before the resident browser requires it.

Proactive caching of DNS records: addressing a performance bottleneck
Edith Cohen,Haim Kaplan +1 more
TL;DR: This work proposes and evaluates different enhancements to passive caching that reduce the fraction of HTTP connection establishments that are delayed by long DNS resolutions and demonstrates that a significant fraction of cache misses can be eliminated with a moderate overhead.
Patent
Parallel, side-effect based dns pre-caching
TL;DR: In this article, a method for DNS pre-caching is presented, which includes a renderer, an asynchronous DNS prefetcher and a hostname table, and discarding at least one IP address provided by a DNS resolver for the URL hostnames.

Congestion avoidance and control
TL;DR: The measurements and the reports of beta testers suggest that the final product is fairly good at dealing with congested conditions on the Internet, and an algorithm recently developed by Phil Karn of Bell Communications Research is described in a soon-to-be-published RFC.

Hypertext Transfer Protocol -- HTTP/1.1
Roy T. Fielding,James Gettys,Jeffrey C. Mogul,H. Frystyk,Larry Masinter,Paul J. Leach,Tim Berners-Lee +6 more
TL;DR: The Hypertext Transfer Protocol is an application-level protocol for distributed, collaborative, hypermedia information systems, which can be used for many tasks beyond its use for hypertext through extension of its request methods, error codes and headers.
Proceedings Article
Hypertext Transfer Protocol -- HTTP/1.0
TL;DR: It is a generic, stateless, object-oriented protocol which can be used for many tasks, such as name servers and distributed object management systems, through extension of its request methods (commands).

Resource containers: a new facility for resource management in server systems
TL;DR: This work proposes and evaluates a new operating system abstraction called a resource container, which separates the notion of a protection domain from that of a resource principal, and enables fine-grained resource management in server systems and allow the development of robust servers, with simple and firm control over priority policies.
