How did you simulate the anonymized access logs exactly?

Hi Liang,
I read your paper, too. Congratulations, for your fascinating work. I've got a short question on the evaluation part:
You used anonymized access logs from Etsy in your simulation. Could you give me little insight into the simulation setup (tools, conduct)? Are the access logs publicly available?
Would be really helpful for my academic work.

Thanks in advance and best regards from Munich,
Patrick

Hi Patrick,

Sorry for the late response, and thank you for your interests on the project. We built a simulator for the Etsy evaluation. In short, we want to see how Maygh helps a network, such as Etsy, in content distribution and estimate how much bandwidth can be saved. In the setup, we assume browsers run Maygh client, and Etsy runs Maygh coordinator. Users browsers cache content and exchange content following the access logs. Unfortunately, the log is not in the public domain. Let me know if there are anything else I can help.

Thanks,
Liang
