Problem Statement
Why someone should care about Booster?
Second Section
Solution
Collecting and forwarding network requests
problem #1
chain of forward proxies
Interesting fact
Idea
A forward proxy for each Internet access point
Proxies with adapted dialer
A forward proxy to collect and distribute network requests
Deciding how to distribute the workload
problem #2
Concept of Node
inside a Booster network
Communication performed using the Booster Protocol
- Nodes are connected in a peer-to-peer fashion
- Nodes inform their peers about their current workload in real-time
- Workload is forwarded to the least-busy node
Fault tolerance
problem #3
