WANProxy performance test

[Ahmed Al -Ghafri]

Dear Juli,
I have made
a test to touch the performance of WANProxy in virtual environment; I use WANem
to emulate 128 Kbps  and I noticed the
following:
-       The caching technique seems to have a
significant issue where it doesn’t save the bits for long enough time; I tried
to download X file first time then directly download X for the second time and
the caching worked well. But when I download Y file after the first X download
and then try to download X again WANProxy goes to bring the file without using
the cache (the cached X bits no longer present). 
-       Also I tried to download excel file for the
second time with little changes in some cells value in the excel sheet,
WANProxy doesn’t show a significant optimization and it downloaded the file
without consideration in the cached bits or at least most of file bits had been
re-downloaded , as it looks like?
What I
ended up for WANProxy is that it does caching for short time and not “true”
bit-level caching. Hope this was configuration related issue and can be fixed.
Here are
the configurations (after help from WANProxy developer):
Clinet:
=======
create codec codec0
set codec0.codec XCodec
activate codec0
create interface if0 
set if0.family IPv4
set if0.host "192.168.4.1"   #ip of interface connected to client and
used to reach server
set if0.port "80"  
#port number which WANProxy listen to (you can select any port but use
the same port when connect from client)
activate if0
create peer peer0
set peer0.family IPv4
set peer0.host "192.168.1.2"  #ip of WANProxy server which set up in
WANProxy server configuration
set peer0.port "3301" #port of WANProxy server
which set up in WANProxy server configuration
activate peer0
create proxy proxy0
set proxy0.interface if0
set proxy0.interface_codec None  #for WANProxy 
client this set as None
set proxy0.peer peer0
set proxy0.peer_codec codec0 
#for WANProxy  client this set as
codec0
activate proxy0
Server:
=======
create codec codec0
set codec0.codec XCodec
activate codec0
create interface if0
set if0.family IPv4
set if0.host "192.168.1.2" #Ip of WANProxy
interface connected to the server machine
set if0.port "3301" #port  explained in client 
activate if0
create peer peer0
set peer0.family IPv4
set peer0.host "192.168.1.1" #ip address of the
server machine
set peer0.port "80"   #port number of the server machine
activate peer0
create proxy proxy0
set proxy0.interface if0
set proxy0.interface_codec codec0  #for WANProxy server   this set as codec0
set proxy0.peer peer0
set proxy0.peer_codec None 
#for WANProxy server   this set as
None
activate proxy0
