Benjamin, what if >you tried getting these people to take a snapshot of their caches and get >the sizes of the HTML pages? It would be very useful information to a lot >of us! One note here: the size distribution of pages stored in web caches will not in general equal the size distribution of the pages transported over the HTTP link. Especially if you have a cache replacement algorithm which takes the size of the page into account. And it is the properties of the traffic over the link (usually the upstream link these days, unless you have a slow modem) we are interested in. For those who have time to do statistics, I suggest using Digital's Web Proxy Traces at ftp://ftp.digital.com/pub/DEC/traces/proxy/webtraces.html >Henrik Koen.
