METHOD AND SYSTEM OF CACHING WEB CONTENT IN A HARD DISK

摘要

A method and system of storing and retrieving web content in a cache hard disk memory, in which read requests and write requests are separated in two different queues, and read requests are prioritized. This way, write requests are selectively delayed to favour read operations and improve user experience.

1. A method of caching web content in a communication node comprising a hard disk memory, said communication node being configured to schedule read requests and write requests of web content in the hard disk, wherein the method comprises:
queuing write requests in a first queue; queuing read requests in a second queue; the second queue having a greater priority than the first queue; monitoring a data throughput level of the hard disk; scheduling write requests queued in the first queue only if the monitored saturation level of the hard disk is below a first threshold; and scheduling read requests queued in the second queue as a function of the monitored data throughput of the hard disk.
