- Comment There are three main types of ISSP: Caching ISSPs. These cache information by keeping automatic copies of data in order to optimise the functioning of the Internet. This includes maintaining lists of most frequently accessed sites and making temporary copies. A caching ISSP has no control over the sites or knowledge of what they are at a given moment in time, or what their content is. Conduit ISSPs. These provide 'highways' along which information travels from a host ISSP to personal computers. The conduit function is purely one of transmitting information and provision of access, and can include making automatic, transient copies. These are intended solely to assist the transmission process. Host ISSPs. These may host up to thousands of sites. ISPs have total control over ability to access these sites but they have no control over the information posted on them and cannot be expected to be aware of such information. Once made aware of the information however, ISSPs can remove such information after it has been uploaded should they wish to.
