A WWW caching server was established to enable more effective use of both local and JANET resources by storing commonly used Web pages locally and thus delivering them faster. The additional advantage of this is a reduction in the amount of bandwidth consumed by Web traffic. The main purpose of the cache is to service local requests, but cooperative links with other caches will provide more effective retrieval of Web pages nationally and further reduce the load on international JANET connections.
