Overview

Microsoft Proxy Server 2.0 uses the Cache Array Routing Protocol (CARP) to provide seamless scaling and extreme efficiency. CARP uses hash-based routing to provide a deterministic "request resolution path" through an array of proxies. The request resolution path, based upon a hashing of proxy array member identities and URLs, means that for any given URL request, the browser or downstream proxy server will know exactly where in the proxy array the information will be stored—whether already cached from a previous request, or making a first Internet hit for delivery and caching. This paper discusses how CARP works, how it benefits you by improving performance, the different routing options available, and more.
