Abstract
A server receives information that identifies which chunks are stored in local caches at client computers and receives a request to evict a chunk from a local cache of a first one of the client computers. The server determines whether the chunk stored at the local cache of the first one of the client computers is globally oldest among the chunks stored in the local caches at the client computers, and authorizes the first one of the client computers to evict the chunk when the chunk is the globally oldest among the chunks stored in the local caches at the client computers.
