The Perforce Proxy Server (P4P) is a file caching server. Where bandwidth to remote sites is limited, P4P improves performance by mediating between Perforce clients and servers to cache frequently transmitted file revisions. By intercepting requests for cached file revisions, P4P reduces demand on the Perforce server and network.

The primary Proxy documentation is contained in the Perforce System Administrator's Guide. Additional information on the Proxy can be found in this Knowledge Base section.
