Based on the above results, we can perceive the following: If the proxy wants high hit ratio or low average latency, GD-Size(1) is the appropriate algorithm. If the proxy desires high byte hit ratio as well, then GD-Size(packets) achieves a good balance among the different goals. If the documents have associated network or monetary costs that do not change over time, or change slowly over time, then GD-Size(hops) or GD-Size(weightedhops) is the appropriate algorithm. Finally, in the case of main memory caching of web documents, GD-Size(1) should be used because of its superior performance under small cache sizes.
