NETWORK WITH CACHE SERVERS

摘要

Network (1) comprising local network nodes (2, 2'), via which local users (3, 3') have access to the network and local servers (5, 5'), for example cache servers. Permanent connection of a user to one specific local server has the disadvantage that if a user logs in at a different location, another local server may be able to offer much better performance and greater savings in network traffic. For this reason, the present network comprises means (2, 2', 6) for determining the geographic location of the user (3, 3') and on the basis of his location for connecting the user to the most appropriate local server (5, 5') in respect of his location.
