چکیده
This paper presents a workload characterization study for Internet Web servers. Six different data sets are used in the study: three from academic environments, two from scientific research organizations, and one from a commercial Internet provider. These data sets represent three different orders of magnitude in server activity, and two different orders of magnitude in time duration, ranging from one week of activity to one year. The workload characterization focuses on the document type distribution, the document size distribution, the document referencing behavior, and the geographic distribution of server requests. Throughout the study, emphasis is placed on finding workload characteristics that are common to all the data sets studied. Ten such characteristics are identified. The paper concludes with a discussion of caching and performance issues, using the observed workload characteristics to suggest performance enhancements that seem promising for Internet Web servers.

The phenomenal growth in popularity of the World Wide Web (WWW, or the Web) has made WWW traac the largest contributor to packet and byte traac on the NSFNET backbone. This growth has triggered recent research aimed at reducing the volume of network traac produced by Web clients and servers, by using caching, and reducing the latency for WWW users, by using improved protocols for Web interactio...
متن کاملPerformance Evaluation of Service Differentiating Internet Servers
Differentiated service approach has been proposed as a potential solution to provide Quality of Services (QoS) in the next generation Internet. The ultimate goal of end-to-end service differentiation can be achieved by complementing the network-level QoS with the service differentiation at the Internet servers. In this paper, we have presented a detailed study of the performance of service diff...
