High-performance benchmarking with Web Polygraph
This paper presents the design and implementation of Web Polygraph, a tool for benchmarking HTTP intermediaries. We discuss various challenges involved in simulating Web traffic and in developing a portable, high-performance tool for generating such traffic. Polygraph's simulation models, as well as our experiences with developing and running the benchmark, may be useful for Web proxy developers, performance analysts, and researchers interested in Web traffic simulation.
