This knowledge base glossary provides a collection of knowledge base documents that define many technical terms. These terms are arranged alphabetically, but you can quickly jump to a specific term by selecting its first letter from the index of the knowledge base glossary below.

What is a Proxy/Caching Server? This term is used particularly for a type of networking software that sits on a server on the outskirts of a school or organizations network that acts as a” traffic cop” for incoming and out coming Internet traffic. When the proxy receives a request for such a URL (www.myaccess.com ), it strips off the prefix and looks for the resulting URL in its local cache. If found, it returns the document immediately, otherwise it fetches it from the remote server, saves a copy in the cache and returns it to the requester. The cache will usually have an expiry algorithm which flushes documents according to their age, size, and access history. In addition, proxy servers can be “layered”—have one on top of another-school and district and/or the ISP used by the district.
