I'm going with C. It's the only one that mentions the kernel space, which is where the action is happening.

B makes the most sense to me. The gateway will update the kernel cache during the next policy install.

Haha, the cloud must be getting a lot of traffic these days! I wonder if they have a special "express lane" for these requests.

I thought RAD forwards requests to CMI, but I’m confused about whether that happens when the category isn’t found. Could it be D?

I feel like RAD in user space is involved, but I can't recall if it forwards requests to the cloud or not.

I remember a practice question about caching, and I think it mentioned something about updating the kernel cache, so maybe B is correct?

I think the answer might be C, but I'm not entirely sure if it's the kernel space or user space that handles this.

This seems like a good opportunity to apply my knowledge of the GW architecture. I'll carefully consider each option and the flow of the request processing.

I'm leaning towards option C, since the question specifically mentions the kernel cache. But I want to double-check the roles of RAD and CMI.

I'm a bit confused on the difference between RAD in user space vs. kernel space. I'll need to review that part.

Hmm, this one seems a bit tricky. I'll need to think through the flow of how the GW handles URL categorization.
