  9. Cache (computing) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cache_(computing)

    The BIND DNS daemon caches a mapping of domain names to IP addresses, as does a resolver library. Write-through operation is common when operating over unreliable networks (like an Ethernet LAN), because of the enormous complexity of the coherency protocol required between multiple write-back caches when communication is unreliable.
