This paper presents a new, delay-conscious cache replacement algorithm LNC-R-W3 which maximizes a performance metric called delay-savings-ratio and compares it with other existing cache replacement algorithms, namely LRU and LRU-MIN.
Abstract
Caching at proxy servers plays an important role in reducing the latency of the user response, the network delays and the load on Web servers. The cache performance depends critically on the design of the cache replacement algorithm. Unfortunately, most cache replacement algorithms ignore the Web's scale. In this paper we argue for the design of delay-conscious cache replacement algorithms which explicitly consider the Web's scale by preferentially caching documents which require a long time to fetch to the cache. We present a new, delay-conscious cache replacement algorithm LNC-R-W3 which maximizes a performance metric called delay-savings-ratio. Subsequently, we test the performance of LNC-R-W3 experimentally and compare it with the performance of other existing cache replacement algorithms, namely LRU and LRU-MIN.

Efficient Distance based Response Time Pruning Cache Policy for NDN

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors proposed an NDN-based cache strategy that can increase network efficiency by employing a caching function at the intermediate nodes of the network to enhance network efficiency, which minimizes network response time and increases the network cache hit ratio.

TL;DR: The design and performance of a hierarchical proxy-cache designed to make Internet information systems scale better are discussed, and performance measurements indicate that hierarchy does not measurably increase access latency.

Characteristics of WWW Client-based Traces

TL;DR: This paper presents a descriptive statistical summary of the traces of actual executions of NCSA Mosaic, and shows that many characteristics of WWW use can be modelled using power-law distributions, including the distribution of document sizes, the popularity of documents as a function of size, and the Distribution of user requests for documents.

Caching Proxies: Limitations and Potentials

TL;DR: This work assesses the potential of proxy servers to cache documents retrieved with the HTTP protocol, and finds that a proxy server really functions as a second level cache, and its hit rate may tend to decline with time after initial loading given a more or less constant set of users.
