Description
Summary:A key characteristic of the Internet is its global diffusion, that shows a rapid growth of the number of hosts and international links around the world. The diffusion of the Internet has been accompanied by serious performance problems, such as long response times, server overload and network congestion. Caching has been used as a standard solution to minimize the problem. In this paper, we analyze logs of caching proxy servers and show evidence that geographical, cultural and social issues have a strong influence on the workload of a proxy server. Therefore, the cultural and social context provide relevant information to plan efficient caching proxy architectures.
