Title
Modeling Web Proxy Cache Architectures
Abstract
In this paper we e valuate the performance of design alternatives for Web proxy cache a rchitectures. Our performance study employs deterministic a nd stochastic Petri nets (DSPN) as s tochastic modeling formalism because DSPN provide an illustrative graphical representation. The presented DSPN models address in particular the sensitivity of the performance of proxy cache a rchitectures on the traffic intensity and burstiness of client requests as well as on the cac he size a nd network transfer times. We employ DSPN for a c omparative performance study of two Web proxy cache architectures: a shared proxy cache and a partitioned proxy cache for text and image documents. For comparison and validation purpose, we a lso p resent performance figures for a simple Web server without a proxy cache. For both cache a rchitectures, the benefits of prefetching are a lso investigated.
