The phenomenal growth in popularity of the World Wide Web (WWW, or the Web) has made
WWW traffic the largest contributor to packet and byte traffic on the NSFNET backbone. This …

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 …

The sharing of caches among Web proxies is an important technique to reduce Web traffic
and alleviate network bottlenecks. Nevertheless it is not widely deployed due to the …

The explosion of WWW traffic necessitates an accurate picture of WWW use, and in
particular requires a good understanding of client requests for WWW documents. To address …

The authors propose models for both temporal and spatial locality of reference in streams of
requests arriving at Web servers. They show that simple models based on document …

The Shortest-Remaining-Processing-Time (SRPT) scheduling policy has long been known
to be optimal for minimizing mean response time (sojourn time). Despite this fact, SRPT …

High latency and loss rates in the Internet make it difficult to stream audio and video without
introducing a large playback delay. To address these problems, we propose a prefix caching …

Is it possible to reduce the expected response time of every request at a web server, simply
by changing the order in which we schedule the requests? That is the question we ask in …
