Filter based directory replication and caching Apurva Kumar   View Paper (PDF)   Return to Research Session 9: DBMS Architecture and Performance Abstract This paper describes a novel filter based replication model for lightweight directory access protocol (LDAP) directories. Instead of replicating entire subtrees from the directory information tree (DIT), only entries matching a filter specification are replicated Advantages of the filter based replication framework over existing subtree based mechanisms have been demonstrated for a real enterprise directory using real workloads. ©2006 Association for Computing Machinery
