Caching Characteristics of Internet and Intranet Web Proxy Traces
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper studies the caching characteristics of HTTP requests and responses that pass through production Web proxies. We evaluate caching opportunities and problems. Traces with 5.9 million entries from a large Internet Service Provider (ISP) and 2.0 million entries from an Intranet firewall are studied. We find maximum cache hit rate opportunities of about 40% for an ISP and 70% for an Intranet. Cache size needs and document residence times are also examined.

Behavior of WWW Proxy Servers in Low Bandwidth Conditions
Most of caching proxy servers are installed between the Internet and enterprise networks (aka the Intranet). The performance of the caching proxy server is very important for WWW service because the server handles all of the WWW transactions in the organization. In this paper, as a performance measure of the caching proxy server, we exploit the WWW object retrieval time of clients through the c...
متن کاملCaching Neighborhood Protocol: a Foundation for Building Dynamic Caching Hierarchies with WWW Proxy Servers
In this paper, we propose a Caching Neighborhood Protocol (CNP) that describes an infrastructure upon which proxy servers can build dynamic caching hierarchies. Compared to the conventional schemes based on static caching hierarchies where proxy servers can only communicate with each other following predefined path configurations, the proposed dynamic scheme permits flexible communications amon...
متن کاملNetCache Architecture and Deployment
This paper describes the architecture of Network Appliance’s NetCache proxy cache. It discusses sizing proxy caches, contrasts the advantages and disadvantages of transparent caching, and reviews mechanisms to provide highly available caches. It also reports cache hit rates and summarizes our experience deploying proxy caching at Internet Service Providers (ISP) and corporate firewalls and intr...

Characterizing World Wide Web proxy traac helps identify parameters that aaect caching, capacity planning and simulation studies. In this paper we identify invariants that hold across a collection of ten traces representing traac seen by caching-proxy servers. The traces were collected from governmental, industry, university, high school, and an online service provider environment, with request...
متن کاملExploring the Bounds of Web Latency Reduction from Caching and Prefetching
Prefetching and caching are techniques commonly used in I/O systems to reduce latency. Many researchers have advocated the use of caching and prefetching to reduce latency in the Web. We derive several bounds on the performance improvements seen from these techniques, and then use traces of Web proxy activity taken at Digital Equipment Corporation to quantify these bounds. We found that for the...
