Implementing Cache Proxy Functionality

To add cache proxy functionality to a Windows Media Server, you must install and enable a cache proxy plug-in. Windows Media Services does not include a cache plug-in, but you can purchase one from a Windows Media–based caching partner or create your own by using this SDK. The following sections discuss how to create a custom cache proxy plug-in. The SDK also includes a basic proxy sample. For more information, see Samples_wms_sdk_1.
