I heard about ICP servers and was wondering what they are exactly. Could someone explain to me what an ICP server is and maybe give some background information or context about it?

ICP operates by allowing proxy servers to communicate with each other, sharing information about their cached content and facilitating the retrieval of requested webpages from the closest available source.

The protocol is particularly beneficial for large networks or organizations with multiple proxy servers, as it enables them to better manage and optimize their caching infrastructure.

By utilizing ICP, a proxy server can inquire with another proxy server if it possesses a particular cached webpage, eliminating the need for the requesting server to access the internet directly.
