SVSquid caching proxy is a top level server of the NLANR Caching Hierarchy.

The patched version of Squid (v1.1.16 with the "double-read(2)" bug fixed) was run on Monday, October 13, 1997. At that time, the cache was recovering after a recent cold restart and an internal bug. Thus, the results for this date may not be typical for this server. We do have more reliable results from later days.

We split our experiments into 6 categories.

1. General
   • Transfer Sizes
   • File Sizes
   • Proxy Traffic Intensity
   • Proxy Response Time
   • Repsonse Time vs. Size
   • Concurrent Requests
   • Hit Rates
   • Request Response Time Components (Misses)
   • Request Response Time Components (200 Hits)

2. Disk
   • Disk Traffic Intensity
   • Concurrent Disk Requests
   • Disk Utilization
   • Disk Response Time
   • Disk Response Time Anatomy
   • Atomic Disk Requests

3. Memory

4. Outbound Network
   • Concurrent Outgoing Connections
   • Proxy Connect Time
