Abstract
The Internet has experienced exponential growth in the use of the World-Wide Web, and rapid growth in the use of other Internet services such as VSENET news and electronic mail. These applications qualitatively differ from other network applications in the stresses they im- pose on busy server systems. Unlike traditional dis- tributed systems, Internet servers must cope with huge user communities, short interactions, and long network latencies. Such servers require different kinds of operat- ing system features to manage their resources effectively.Keywords
