Proxy server experiment and the changing nature of the web

Abstract

Abstract-The use of proxy server could help provide adequate access and response time to large numbers of World Wide Web (WWW) users requesting previously accessed page. While some studies have reported performance increase due to the use of proxy servers, a study reported performance decrease associated with the use of proxy server. Due to lack of recently published scholarly article that test the performance of proxy server, we carry out an in-depth study of the behavior of a proxy server over a six month period. The result of the study showed that hit ratios of the proxy servers range between 21% to 39% and over 70% of web pages are dynamic. The study indicates the effectiveness of the proxy server and helps evaluate the tradeoff between money spent on higher bandwidth lower latency connections, versus the cost/performance of using a caching intermediary.

Performance of Web Caching in High Density Mobile Networks

“…For example, Svoboda showed there is a strong gain for web performance when using web proxy both in GPRS and HSPDA [3]. The result of [4] showed that hit ratios of the proxy servers range between 21% to 39% and over 70% of web pages are dynamic. Authors of [5] developed a model for split TCP connection which helps the analysis of characteristics of proxy.…”

J2EE-based Online Video Retrieving System Design and Implementation

“…Through setting up HTTP Proxy [4,5,6] server between parsing server and video server, this module can easily catch the HTTP Response packets which contain the real address of the videos. As most video websites have their own proprietary video segmentation strategy, for different websites, we design a feature-based decision tree approach to determine the real address of videos.…”

Web Acceleration in Asymmetrical Mobile Network

“…Some existing studies have begun to depicting the importance of cache in data service acceleration in mobile network. Actually, how to improve cache performance in asymmetrical environments is still under discussion [17,18]. In Sect.…”

“…Considering the correlation between unstable channel state and the WAN delay, web cache has become an important unit of wireless data network [16]. How to improve cache performance in asymmetrical environments is still under discussion [17,18].…”
