Résumé

This paper addresses two unresolved issues about web caching. The first issue is whether web requests from a fixed user community are distributed according to Zipf's law [22]. Several early studies have supported this claim [9], [5], [1] while other recent studies have suggested otherwise [16], [2]. The second issue relates to a number of recent studies on the characteristics of web proxy traces, which have shown that the hit-ratios and temporal locality of the traces exhibit certain asymptotic ...
