Abstract
HTTP cache servers reduce network traffic by storing popular files nea rer to the client and have been implemented worldwide. Their reported performance on key metrics such as hit rate varies greatly. In order t o optimise the design of the cache network this variation needs to be understood. The variation in hit rate across a number of caches is inv estigated and is shown to be partly stochastic (i.e caused by insuffic ient sample size) and partly fractal (i.e deterministic in origin).
