document: Analyzing and accelerating web access in a school in peri-urban India While computers and Internet access have growing penetration amongst schools in the developing world , intermittent connectivity and limited bandwidth often prevent them from being fully utilized by students and teachers . In this paper , we make two contributions to help address this problem . First , we characterize six weeks of HTTP traffic from a primary school outside of Bangalore , India , illuminating opportunities and constraints for improving performance in such settings . Second , we deploy an aggressive caching and prefetching engine and show that it accelerates a user 's overall browsing experience ( apart from video content ) by 2.8 x. Our accelerator leverages innovative techniques that have been proposed , but not evaluated in detail , including the effectiveness of serving stale pages , cached page highlighting , and client-side prefetching . Unlike proxy-based techniques , our system is bundled as an open-source Firefox plugin and runs directly on client machines . This allows easy installation and configuration by end users , which is especially important in developing regions where a lack of permissions or technical expertise often prevents modification of internal network settings .
