Backslash paper

Backslash paper

Backslash is a web protocol designed to avoid server overload due to large influxes of traffic. It protects a loaded server by allowing it to be a member of a group of web servers which will mirror each others' content in the case of high load. It uses a distributed hash table to provide a lookup which gives nodes which will cache the content aggressively as it becomes more popular. In this way it relies not on dedicated Content Delivery Networks but on the number of participating hosts in the system. Note that it requires an infrastructure of participating nodes, and that each node must share the bandwidth among its neighbors.
