This memo specifies standard terminology and the taxonomy of web
replication and caching infrastructure as deployed today.  It

application domain.  Currently deployed solutions employing these
technologies are presented to establish a standard taxonomy.  Known
problems with caching proxies are covered in the document titled

published material for each protocol.

This document is a product of the Web Replication and Caching Working
Group of the IETF.
