We used our simulator to explore how the five parameters discussed in
section
affected the performance of push-caching.
These parameters are summarized in table
. The
results of these simulations are presented in
sections
through
. We
also used our simulator to compare push-caching to client-caching,
where each client caches a small set of popular documents, and
proxy-caching, discussed in section
. The results
of these simulations are presented in section
and
. We conclude this chapter with a
discussion of push-caching scalability.
