Terminology

This section provides definitions for Juniper Networks and industry-standard terms that may
be unfamiliar to the reader.
Edge cache: An appliance placed between the Internet and the Web server that caches
content (like Java Script, CSS, images, and so forth) and delivers them for the server, freeing
up the Web server for other processes. Media Flow Controller as an edge cache is effectively
a "reverse proxy" that provides these benefits: reduces the load (network and CPU) on an
origin server by servicing previously retrieved content and enhances the user experience due
to a decrease in latency.
NIC Network Interface Controller/Card.
Origin Library The source of media content.
