This article presents a detailed workload characterization study of the 1998 World Cup W e b site. Measurements from this site were collected over a three-month period. During this time the site received l .35 billion re uests, making this the largest throu h comparison with existing characterization studies, we are able to determ i n e l o w W e b server workloads are evolving. W e find that improvements in the caching architecture of the World Wide W e b are changing the workloads of W e b servers, but major im rovements to that architecture are still necessary. In particular, we uncover evilence that a better consistency mechanism is required for World Wide W e b caches.
