Reference Locality

The TranSend service incorporates a large web cache. We have observed that there is locality in both the pre- and post- transformed representations of web content. In our experience, a 6 gigabyte web cache has been more than sufficient to serve the needs of the Home IP service, providing close to a 50% hit rate, as predicted by the cache simulations.
