A web caching and prefetching simulator
Johann M. Márquez-Barja, Josep Domènech, José Antonio Gil, Ana Pont · 2008
The enormous potential of locality based strategies like caching and prefetching to improve Web performance motivates us to propose a novel global framework for performance evaluation in scenarios where different parts of the Web architecture interact. Unlike existing proposals our approach is a fast and flexible tool that allows to represent faithfully the behaviour of each element of the architecture in order to study, reproduce, evaluate and design Web strategies to decrease the userpsilas perceived latency when surfing the Web.
