IIS 7.0 Output Caching

Introduction

Web content can be divided into two categories: static content and dynamic content. Static content does not change from request to request. The content that gets returned to the web browser is always the same. Examples of static content include HTML files, JPG or GIF files.
The other is dynamic content. This is the response that gets generated for dynamic content changes with every request. Examples include ASP.NET or PHP content.
There is a big range between these two categories which includes semi-dynamic content. Imagine a dynamic ASP.NET page that executes a database query. There is no reason to execute this query on every request if the underlying database tables change infrequently.
The IIS Output Caching feature targets semi-dynamic content. It allows you to cache static responses for dynamic requests and to gain tremendous scalability.

IPv4 header to requests when a client is using IPv6

  What is Pseudo IPv4? As a stopgap to accelerate the adoption of IPv6, Cloudflare offers Pseudo IPv4 which supports IPv6 addresses in legacy applications expecting IPv4 addresses. The goal is to provide a nearly unique IPv4 address for each IPv6 address, using Class E IPv4 address space, which is designated as experimental and would not normally see traffic.

Intrusion detection system

An   intrusion detection system   ( IDS ) is a device or   software application   that monitors network or system activities for malicious activities or policy violations and produces reports to a management station.  IDS come in a variety of “flavors” and approach the goal of detecting suspicious traffic in different ways. There are network based (NIDS) and host based (HIDS) intrusion detection systems. Some systems may attempt to stop an intrusion attempt but this is neither required nor expected of a monitoring system.  Intrusion detection and prevention systems (IDPS) are primarily focused on identifying possible incidents, logging information about them, and reporting attempts. In addition, organizations use IDPSes for other purposes, such as identifying problems with security policies, documenting existing threats and deterring individuals from violating security policies.  IDPSes have become a necessary addition to the security infrastru...
