Abstract

Tremendous increase in number of Internet users enforces the study of bandwidth optimization parameters. Analysis of Internet uses, in the specific educational locality, has shown importance of various parameters for satisfying the requirement of users. Results based on the simulation model are presented in this study. With this approach, in present experiment, we have cached 65111 number of web documents at proxy servers so that those can be accessed locally. This leads in the saving of the Internet bandwidth required to fetch 65111 number of web objects bearing average size of 10.87 kb. The total size of these documents is 707.756 Mbytes. Effectively, the bandwidth required to fetch 707.756 Mbytes has been saved whenever there is request for these web documents. Caching web proxy servers, popularity of web objects and their reference of locality, image-storing strategies are shown to be important issues for optimizing the bandwidth utilization.
