Analysis of the reduction of the bandwidth consumption of an ISP through the study of the Web Proxy Cache Server

Abstract

Introduction. Bandwidth consumption is a valuable resource in companies today, the need to constantly improve response times in requests for web services has led to the search for efficient means that meet the requirements of the network, decreasing the bandwidth that is consumed. Objective. Analyze the reduction of the bandwidth consumption of an ISP by studying the Web Proxy Cache Server for the company FASTNET CIA. LTDA. Methodology. The research design was quantitative. An analysis of the TELCO network was carried out applying the Comprehensive Methodology for Advanced Networks (MIRA), thus obtaining its strengths and weaknesses. Consequently, different cache proxy web server options were studied, including: HAARPCACHE, RAPTOR CACHE, SQUID, THUNDERCACHE, expanding the range of options for proper implementation. three scenarios were configured; the first base its structure on the node "Nat Langos AS" without any variant, the second scenario was differentiated by having the HAARPCACHE server installed on the HP Proliant dl-385P server and the third changes the server for RAPTOR CACHE implemented in it. computer. Results. The HAARPCACHE server met 90% of these conditions and resulted in 17.25% savings in business bandwidth, while RAPTORCACHE met 45% of the measures and created savings corresponding to 8.82%. Conclusions. It is concluded that the most suitable server for FASTNET CIA. LTDA. Due to its reliability and saving capacity, it is HAARPCACHE, in addition to a considerable reduction in bandwidth, thus improving user performance.
