Summary:
With the growth of the Internet and increasing, network traffic, latency has become a major issue. On the entrepreneur side bandwidth is a bottleneck. Web Caching helps to resolve both these issues. In recent years, many proxy caching algorithms and benchmarks to test them have been implemented. In this thesis, some of the existing proxy caching algorithms and related benchmarks have been examined. It has been observed that most of the benchmarks do not provide the developer/entrepreneur a customized environment to debug or deploy a proxy caching algorithm. Hence, this thesis implements a platform independent, easily extensible Test Bed that can be tailored to satisfy the needs of both the developers and the entrepreneurs. The thesis also implements two standard caching algorithms. To illustrate the application of the Test Bed, these algorithms are run on the Test Bed and results obtained are analyzed. Some of the results are then compared to existing behavioral patterns.
