Abstract
Due to the rapid growth of Internet, there are many ISPs to provide people accesses to Internet. Not all of them, however, provide enough bandwidth to all other ISPs or to the Internet exchange center. Under such situations, users may experience network congestions while accessing somewhere in the Internet. This is not good for users. We find that there are often other possible paths that could provide better performance in those cases. Therefore, to exert the resources of Internet resource gets very important, especially when users get benefit from it. In this thesis, we introduce a heuristic method called Proxy Net to improve the performance of Internet accesses, and thus improved the utilization of bandwidth that wouldn’t be used by some users before. An agent that will monitor each http connections and look for a better path for slow connection automatically is introduced. Users may get benefit without noticing anything from the Proxy Net automatic agent.
