This research investigates the performance of cooperative caching among web proxies in large-scale environments.
Used trace-based analysis to evaluate caching performance among 200 proxies in universities.
Applied analytic modeling to project cooperative caching behavior for large user populations.
Analyzed the performance of two large proxies managing 23,000 and 60,000 clients.
Cooperative caching offers performance benefits only within certain client population limits.
Model predictions indicate limitations for caching in areas with millions of clients.
Future trends in web access and traffic significantly impact caching efficiency.
