whitepaper Anonymous Proxy: A Growing Trend in Internet Abuse2008-09-09 Bloxx
  Anonymous proxies are an unseen threat--a student's or employee's backdoor to malicious or productivity-sapping sites on the Internet. If your URL filtering solution relies on the old-school URL database/keyword approach, your ship is leaking and you may not see the holes.

With hundreds of new proxy sites created each day, traditional URL filtering just can't keep up, even when supplemented by standard keyword analysis. This paper offers a primer on the problems, the sizable costs and time drain for IT professionals, and a discussion of an effective third-generation solution that goes far beyond the traditional strategy.

whitepaper Automatic Remediation for SOA Web Services: ORION SOAP Proxy Based on ORION SOA 7.012008-01-28 EventGnosis
  Web services are becoming an integral part of the business infrastructure, and the availability and proper functioning of individual web services is mission critical. The only way to assure 99.999% services availability and to maintain the required transaction performance and throughput is to be able to monitor individual SOAP transactions as are they are being processed. Performance and availability problems have to be identified in real-time and may require automatic remedial actions on a wide range of infrastructure components on the network, such as application servers, databases, and web servers. The ORION SOA 7.0 rule-based application server can be deployed as an in-line SOAP Proxy or as an out-of-band transaction monitor to identify and remediate problems.

whitepaper Sun's High-Performance and Reliable Web Proxy Solution2007-05-17 Sun Microsystems
  As individuals and businesses depend on the Web more than ever to conduct business, rapid and reliable content retrieval is critical. Reducing wait time improves productivity and increases user satisfaction. Web proxy technology has emerged as an effective solution to improve performance, help ensure content availability and enhance network security by caching and filtering Web content. The combination of Sun SPARC Enterprise servers with CoolThreads technology and the Sun Java System Web Proxy Server software provides a compelling foundation for a robust Web proxy solution. Sun SPARC Enterprise T1000 and T2000 servers include the UltraSPARC T1 processor with CoolThreads technology, offering six or eight cores with four threads per core.

whitepaper Modeling TCP Performance With Proxies2007-01-01 University of Michigan
  This paper investigates the TCP dynamics and performance over proxies that shorten the TCP feedback loop by segmenting the end-to-end connection. Such proxies are often used to improve TCP performance, e.g., a splitting/spoofing proxy in the satellite communication, and more commonly, a web cache. By analysis, the author's attempts to develop a basic understanding of the properties of TCP dynamics when such proxies are used, and further obtain certain design principles of systems involving such proxies. Simple models are presented capturing some features of the proxy performance in both the lossless and lossy scenarios.

whitepaper Performance of Different Proxy Concepts in UMTS Networks2007-01-01 University of Stuttgart
  It is well known that the large round trip time and the highly variable delay in a cellular network may degrade the performance of TCP. Many concepts have been proposed to improve this situation, including Performance Enhancing Proxies (PEPs). One important class of PEPs are split connection proxies, which terminate a connection from a server in the Internet in a host close to the Radio Access Network (RAN) and establish a second connection towards the mobile User Equipment (UE). This connection splitting can be done either purely on the transport layer (TCP proxy) or on the application layer (HTTP proxy in the case of web traffic).

whitepaper Secure Remote and Outbound Internet Access Using ISA Server 2006 Web Proxy2006-06-01 Microsoft
  Almost all companies today have a connection to the Internet that provides access to information on Web servers at partner and customer sites, as well as access to Web content at main offices from branch locations. A popular and powerful solution to the problems of secure Web access is a Web proxy. Web proxy devices help enable a company to control the flow of information moving over Web channels using the HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP), Secure HTTP (HTTPS), and File Transfer Protocol (FTP) application protocols. Web proxy servers act as intermediaries between client and server. This white paper explores how ISA Server 2006 provides enhanced security and application acceleration by acting as both forward and reverse Web proxy for the corporate network.

whitepaper How to Gain Visibility and Control of Encrypted SSL Web Sessions2006-04-23 Blue Coat Systems
  SSL traffic is growing into a significant amount of enterprise network traffic. IT is unable to secure, control, or accelerate this traffic. Blue Coat's new SSL proxy removes IT's blinders, enabling organizations to establish a critical control point for policy, performance, and protection of users and applications using SSL. While enterprises should update acceptable use policies, Blue Coat's solution affords the appropriate flexibility and controls to mitigate any potential privacy concerns within the enterprise.

whitepaper Using a Reverse Proxy Server With WebSphere Commerce2005-12-07 IBM
  A reverse proxy server adds an additional layer of protection between your WebSphere Commerce server and the Internet. This paper provides detailed instructions on how to configure the IBM HTTP Server as a reverse proxy server for WebSphere Commerce, and provides a sample configuration file. This paper also describes how WebSphere Application Server maps HTTP requests to application servers. This is useful when troubleshooting your reverse proxy server configuration.

whitepaper A Simple Guide to Creating a Firewall and Squid Proxy Server2005-12-01 Red Hat
  A firewall is extremely important in any environment where systems will be connecting to an insecure network like the Internet. It can also be used to prevent certain types of traffic from leaving a company network. Red Hat Enterprise Linux utilizes the iptables system, which is a kernel-level packet-filtering tool. This paper will show how to set up simple forwarding and filtering rules for a firewall appliance. This paper will cover the configuration and setup of a firewall and squid proxy server. By no means is this meant to be a complete solution; it is a straight forward example of how to get started.
