I would also like to see a comparison between a caching box
running with and without ICAP, or with or without SOAP (if any
exists yet). Kind of an ICAP bake-off. If we had a ICAP server
which would not do any real processing, but just respond back
to the server, plus a load balanced setup so we don't see the
server become the bottleneck. That should give us an idea about
the performance impact when enabling ICAP.
Would that be in the scope of what you're planning?
Thanks, Frank

Subject: RE: Protocol Performance
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
