particular subset of wide area traffic: traffic due to the World Wide Web (WWW). Using an extensive set of traces of actual user executions of NCSA Mosaic, reflecting over half a million requests for WWW documents, we examine the dependence structure of WWW traffic. While our measurements are not conclusive

carrying only web traffic, RED queue management appears to provide no clear advantage over tail-drop FIFO for end-user response times. 1.

, despite being non-Poisson, aggregating Web traffic causes it to smooth out as rapidly as Poisson traffic. That is, the relationship between changes in mean bandwidth and changes in variance is the same for Web traffic as it is for Poisson traffic. We derive our evidence from traces of real traffic in two

The growing importance of Web traffic on the Internet makes it important that we have accurate traffic models in order to plan and provision. In this paper we present a Web traffic model designed to assist in the evaluation and engineering of shared communications networks. Because the model

Abstract-In this work the authors show how the behaviour of Web users strongly affects the dynamics of TCP connections in Internet. Analysing actual and systematically generated HTTP traces, it is proved that the time between the download of two pages is critical to determine the re -utilisation

As web search providers seek to improve both relevance and response times, they are challenged by the ever-increasing tax of automated search query traffic. Third party systems interact with search engines for a variety of reasons, such as monitoring a web site’s rank, augmenting online games

The sharing of caches among Web proxies is an important technique to reduce Web traffic and alleviate network bottlenecks. Nevertheless it is not widely deployed due to the overhead of existing protocols. In this paper we propose a new protocol called "Summary Cache"; each proxy keeps a

nt en ts HiTB Magazine Dear Reader, 3 months ago, our newly ‘reborn ’ ezine was a completely new experience to our small team and we didn’t expect it to have a lot of followers considering its absence for many years. But to our surprise, we received over 20K downloads just weeks after its re-launch! Despite all this, there are still many things for us to work on and improve upon. Our team is still working hard to make sure our ezine will not only become a resource our readers love to read, but also something they would like to keep. Our promise is that every issue will have something unique to offer. You can be a CSO or a hardcore security geek, we’re confident our content offers
