Abstract: The use of Web caches makes it possible to offer a service of better quality to Internet users. Due to the difficulty in obtaining a real network of caches to experience with, most research projects use Web caches simulators. This paper presents a Web cache simulator capable of executing simulations of distributed and cooperative Web caches servers. The simulator allows the measurement of the impact of configuration parameters in the cache performance, making possible to design better cooperative cache networks. To show an example of the simulator use, simulations based in the Brazilian National Research Network - RNP are presented.
