I haven't heard of anyone doing any performance analysis between SOAP and
ICAP. I think your work will help openproxy group to choose the right
protocol. I would suggest you post the performance comparison methodology
you are planning on to this mailing list, so that the group can comment on
its applicability to the OPES framework.

Subject: Protocol Performance
Hi,
regarding the recent discussions on ICAP and SOAP, I thought that it
might be interesting to take a closer look at the performance of both
protocols.
Is anybody aware of such a performance evaluation that does already
exist? Is there a SOAP over BEEP implementation that could be used for
testing purposes? If not, I would like to evaluate the Lucent ICAP
impelementation and the EASYSOAP SOAP implementation. Both are similar
in that they are written in C/C++ and can be compiled using
gcc and that
they may be run on the same linux box. Any comments,
suggestions, hints
are greatly appreciated.
Volker
