Revan Edfrey - Pfs: A Caching Proxy for High Latency 9p Links
Abstract:
Pfs is a 9p proxy that caches a file server’s tree in memory and replies to client requests directly from cache, while forwarding every request to the server in the background. By never waiting for the server before replying, pfs converts much of the latency problem into a bandwidth one, allowing sequential programs like mk and the compilers to run at usable speeds over high latency connections. This paper describes the design and current status of pfs.
