NCA is Network Cache Accelerator. I'm thinking this is currently defunct software, that has long since been made obsolete by sendfile().
However, I could be proven wrong; I'd be curious to know if anyone finds these bits useful anymore. (NCA was invented back in the early part of the last decade, IIRC. Solaris 8 update 5, I think) Caveats with NCA. 1) You don't want to run it except on a dedicated web server; it caches in the kernel. 2) It only works in the global zone. 3) It may not work with all web servers (e.g. nginx?) Those two caveats make it seem unlikely to be widely useful in modern deployments, at least from my thinking. Anyway, I'd appreciate hearing back from anyone currently finding this software useful. - Garrett ------------------------------------------- illumos-discuss Archives: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/182180/=now RSS Feed: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/rss/182180/21175430-2e6923be Modify Your Subscription: https://www.listbox.com/member/?member_id=21175430&id_secret=21175430-6a77cda4 Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com
