Web caching and its applications
The decade has visible super development in utilization of the realm extensive internet. net caching is a know-how geared toward lowering the transmission of redundant community site visitors and bettering entry to the net. the most important proposal in net caching is to cache usually- accessed content material in order that it can be used profitably later.
Quality of experience for multimedia : application to content delivery network architecture
In response to a convergence of community applied sciences, the following new release community (NGN) is being deployed to hold prime quality video and voice facts. in truth, the convergence of community applied sciences has been pushed by means of the converging wishes of end-users. The perceived end-to-end caliber is without doubt one of the major pursuits required via clients that has to be assured via the community operators and the net carrier services, via producer apparatus.

The activity unitbased approach concentrates on the application or type of processing being done and translates these to resource utilization forecasts. Artis [2] points out that both approaches to workload characterization depend on the partitioning of the workload into a set of classes that display some degree of homogeneity. The resource-based approach is most applicable to the forecasting of existing workloads and the activity unit-based approaches are more appropriate for new applications.
A statistical analysis of the distribution of service time by hour over a month or more could provide a percentile distribution of response times. It would be realistic to promise what at least 90 percent of the distribution exhibits, especially if this is a value less than the point where the customers complain in significant numbers. Thus, the analyst derives a prescriptive initial value, which could be recommended to management. Batch processing is more complicated. Data must be analyzed separately for the major resource classes of batch work.
A service-level agreement is a formal document and may be structured according to the demands of senior management within the enterprise. Typically, the agreement will have five major sections. These include a prologue, service details, the standard offerings of MIS, the performance objectives, and how award points are determined. 52 Capacity Planning for Computer Systems The first section, or prologue, will include a statement of intent of the agreement. It states that MIS will provide certain services as detailed later in the document, and, in exchange, the customer will agree to cooperate in forecasting future resources to deliver these services.
