• Start your ssh server
• You will require a web server, make sure it is running
• choose any of the algorithm and run it
• there are 4 caching co-operative algorithms with each having a gui version with shows realtime graphs
• always run gui version as sudo
• You will be required to put the following:

• ip address of the webserver (use mec.x10host.com)
• number of requests (default is 30)
• number of html contents (choose from 7 to 20). 7 is default
