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.
