Cluster
A group of the Intel NetStructure Cache
Appliance nodes that are configured to act as a
single large virtual cache. For information on
the supported cluster schemes, see
Management-only clustering and Soft Cluster.
Configure mode
One of two modes in the Intel NetStructure
Cache Appliance Manager. Configure mode
lets you configure the Intel NetStructure Cache
Appliance from a web browser. See also
Monitor mode.
Configure page
A web-based page that appears on the Manager
UI when you click on an active button while in
Configure mode. See also Monitor page.
Cookie
A piece of information sent by a web server to
a web browser. The browser software saves the
information and sends it back to the server
whenever the browser makes additional
requests from the server. Cookies enable web
servers to keep track of users.
DNS
Domain Name Service. The Intel NetStructure
Cache Appliance includes a fast, asynchronous
DNS resolver to streamline conversion of host
names to IP addresses.
Explicit proxy caching
A configuration option where client software
(typically a browser) must be specifically
configured to send web requests to the Intel
NetStructure Cache Appliance proxy.
FTP
File Transfer Protocol. A protocol based on
TCP/IP for reliable file transfer.
Full clustering
An Intel NetStructure Cache Appliance cluster
distributes its cache across its nodes into a
single, virtual object store, rather than
replicating the cache, node by node. See also
Management-only clustering.
HTTP
Hyper Text Transfer Protocol. The client-server
protocol upon which the World Wide Web is
based.
ICP
Internet Cache Protocol. A protocol for proxy
caches to exchange information about their
content.
Intel NetStructure Cache Appliance
Manager
The Intel NetStructure Cache Appliance’s
browser-based interface consisting of a series
of web pages that enable you to monitor
performance and change configuration settings.
IP
Internet Protocol. The lowest-layer protocol
under TCP/IP responsible for end-to-end
forwarding and long packet fragmentation
control.
IP Allow rule
Specifies ranges of IP addresses allowed to use
the appliance as a web proxy.
