Abstract

Caching is one of the most used technique to reduce the Internet bandwidth consumption leading to an improvement of the end-to-end delays. Due to the limited capacity of single caches (memory and bandwidth) multiple caches are combined to build a cache network serving a large number of users in a highly efficient cache federation. Three different possibilities for the composition of caches in a cache federation are possible: hierarchical, distributed and hybrid. In this paper we will introduce and discuss the well-known model of Rodriguez et al. and validate it using real measurements data. Furthermore, we will discuss some improvement issues of this model.
