Abstract
A method is disclosed for reducing network traffic using a shared network response cache. The method intercepts a network request to prevent the network request from entering a data network. The network request is sent by a client and is intended for one or more recipients on the data network. The method checks a shared response cache for an entry matching the network request. The method sends a local response to the client in response to an entry in the shared response cache matching the network request. The local response satisfies the network request based on information from the matching entry in the shared response cache.
