Summary

This section of the paper presented a detailed analysis of the Berkeley Home IP traces. We demonstrated the heterogeneity of the user population, the burstiness of traffic a fine-grained time scales, the presence of a strong and predictable diurnal traffic cycle, locality in client web requests, and the heavy-tailed nature of web service response times. In the next section, we discuss how these observations relate to a real Internet middleware service designed at Berkeley, the TranSend distillation proxy.
