Annotations:
This research paper is an extract from an about 100 pages enfolding diploma thesis of Martin Eisermann, student at the Fachhochschule Rosenheim (University of Applied Sciences), Germany. It contains the results of performance tests, accomplished with MS Proxy Server 2.0, MS ISA Server and Linux Squid Proxy.
This work reflects the personal impressions and test results of the author, made with web performance testing software, described later in this document.
The paper is a translation from German into the English language, so it might not be written with the best phraseology.
