Squid Proxy Server Cache Management using K-means Algorithm

: All services needs to have an accuracy, availability and speed. Internet users are increasing very rapidly which indicates a challenge in maintaining the accuracy, availability and speed in the Internet services. To reduce the load on Internet and improve the Quality of Service (QoS) the web caching technique are in use and all proxy server are maintaining their own cache to provide the requested web page locally to the user. In this paper K-means algorithm is used to identify the web object from the cache of proxy server for its removal and making the room for new web object. It is observed that K-means algorithm always gives better results to improve the HIT rate(i.e. requested web object is available in the cache of proxy server) and remove the unwanted web objects from the memory of proxy server to make the room for new cached web objects.
