云环境中邮件服务器面向传输的优化设计

随着云计算的发展,新的应用不断涌现,但电子邮件服务依然占有着重要的地位.邮件服务器是一种I/O密集的应用.在云计算时代,越来越多的用户邮件保存在服务器端,邮件在从客户端传输到服务器端之前,邮件或者邮件的部分内容在服务器端可能已经存在.基于这种现象,提出了一种方案,通过引入计算的代价来降低通信量,从而提高邮件服务器的处理能力.对电子邮件的格式和SMTP协议进行了扩充,引入了附件和正文分离传输的模式.在邮件传输时,客户端先计算附件的散列值,并作为正文的一部分传输到服务器端,服务器端再根据散列值来判断附件是否需要传输.

Design of a mail server for bandwidth saving in cloud environment

With the advance to a cloud era,there are more emerging web-based applications.Email service still has a special standing in the rank of Internet services.A large volume of emails are stored on the server end.When a mail is being transferred between hosts,it or part of its contents would have already existed on terminal.Based on this observation,a proposalis put up to save bandwidth.Both mail message format and SMTP protocol are expanded to transfer mail text and attachments later sequentially in a transact...
