In this section, we present the results of our analysis of the Home IP traces. In section 3.1, we demonstrate the heterogeneity of the observed client population. Section 3.2 discusses the request rates and interarrival times generated by the client population. In 3.3, object type and size distributions are presented. Section 3.4 demonstrates the existence of locality of reference within the traces through the use of a number of cache simulations driven by trace entries. Finally, section 3.5 presents distributions of service response times, and argues that at any given time, a very large number of outstanding requests will be flowing through middleware or end services.
