Abstract: In one embodiment, the invention provides an apparatus for caching data in a network, with the apparatus including a proxy cache configured to receive request for an object from a client and to fetch data blocks from a server. The proxy cache may be configured to cache the data blocks in a hierarchical relationship within the object. The object may be, for example, a data file or a directory. The data blocks that are cached in the proxy cache define an active data set which is based upon a request from a client.

Abstract translation: 在一个实施例中，本发明提供了一种用于在网络中缓存数据的设备，该设备包括代理缓存，该代理缓存被配置为从客户端接收对对象的请求并从服务器获取数据块。 代理缓存可以被配置为将数据块缓存在对象内的分层关系中。 该对象可以是，例如，数据文件或目录。 缓存在代理缓存中的数据块定义了基于来自客户端的请求的活动数据集。

Abstract: In one embodiment, the invention provides a method of transforming a request from a client to a proxy cache, the method comprising: receiving a request from a client, where the request is based upon a first open standard protocol; and translating the request from the first open standard protocol into a second open standard protocol at a file system level; and transmitting the request in the second open standard protocol to a server.
