For instance, web page caches and client-side network file system caches (like those in NFS or SMB ) are typically read-only or write-through specifically to keep the network protocol simple and reliable.
There are two basic writing approaches: * Write-through: write is done synchronously both to the cache and to the backing store.
The original write-through versions of the chip are marked with a laser embossed "&E", while the write-back enabled versions are marked "&EW".
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.
