aggregate statistics

daily traffic per NLANR caches (bytes and documents)

cumulative traffic ( 1 webit = O(10TB) )

savings (doc, byte hit ratios) over course of project

supercache daily savings

---

absolute daily savings

cumulative savings

cumulative supercache savings (almost 1 webit)

note superlinear growth of saving rate.

hierarchy statistics

(more recently collected) hierarchy analysis

direct fetch, remote miss

local hits, remote hits

Note SJ cache has no remote hits and misses.

per-type statistics

absolute traffic (BO, (PB's stats similar)

doc types of 5% or more of intensity or volume

images largest category
but which documents most cache-valuable?

relative contribution per traffic category

per-type savings (images well ahead)

cumulative per-type savings

executables in 2nd place,
but low hit ratio reduces their caching efficacy

visualization

return on investment
