  • Includes descriptions of various crawlers
  • Describes various ways to cache Urls: Infinite, clairvoyant caching (MIN), static caching, CLOCK, random replacement, LRU, static,
  • Details of web crawl:

During the crawl, the four machines performed 1.04 billion download attempts, 784 million of which resulted in successful downloads. 429 million of the successfully downloaded documents were HTML pages. These pages contained about 26.83 billion links, equivalent to an average of 62.55 links per page; however, the median number of links per page was only 23, suggesting that the average is inflated by some pages with a very high number of links. Earlier studies reported only an average of 8 links [9] or 17 links per page [33]. We offer three explanations as to why we found more links per page. First, we configured Mercator to not limit itself to URLs found in anchor tags, but rather to extract URLs from all tags that may contain them (e.g. image tags). This configuration increases both the mean and the median number of links per page. Second, we configured it to download pages up to 16 MB in size (a setting that is significantly higher than usual), making it possible to encounter pages with tens 2144 GB of disk space was by far too small to hold both the URL log generated by the host splitter and the crawl metadata, such as the URL frontier. As the crawl progressed, we had to continuously move data to other machines with more disk space. of thousands of links.
