US-Russian Networking Project: Web Cache for Science and Education

Averaging nearly 1.2 gigabytes of total traffic per day, the heaviest single producer of MIRnet traffic during its first year has been between the US National Laboratory for Applied Network Research (NLANR) web cache and the Russian academic web cache in Chernogolovka (scientific city located 50 km northeast of Moscow.)

Managed by the Theoretical Physics Institute, the goal of the project is to study the properties of www traffic, and determine optimal path calculations for receiving and sending information via the distributed cache server network based at NLANR. The Chernogolovka web cache functions as the root web cache for the Russian Federation science and education community.
