There is a growing need to efficiently transfer data structures, especially when such data structures are frequency transmitted over the network.
According to an embodiment of the invention a method for transmission over a network may be provided. The method may include receiving, by an intermediate system coupled to the network, a portion of a data structure that is aimed to a recipient computer; generating a stamp that is responsive to a content of a segment of the data structure and is indifferent to transfer information about a transmission of the data structure; wherein the portion of the data structure either comprises the segment of the data structure or equals the segment of the data structure; determining, by the intermediate system, whether to cache the portion of the data structure, in response to at least a comparison between the stamp and stamps of cached portions of data structures; selectively caching the portion of the data structure in response to the determination; and transmitting to the recipient computer either one of the portion of the transmitted data structure and a cached version of the portion of the transmitted data structure.
The method may include generating the stamp while ignoring a name of the data structure.
