Abstract

Aspects of the subject matter described herein relate to client-side caching. In aspects, when a client receives a request for data that is located on a remote server, the client first checks a local cache to see if the data is stored in the local cache. If the data is not stored in the local cache, the client may check a peer cache to see if the data is stored in the peer cache. If the data is not stored in the peer cache, the client obtains the data from the remote server, caches it locally, and publishes to the peer cache that the client has a copy of the data.
