چکیده
Understanding how popular (or not) a given Web service or application is, is an important question whose relevance only continues to grow with the Internet’s commercialization. We devise Endpoint Web Monitor (EWM), a novel method capable of measuring a Web server’s popularity directly from an endpoint. We implement the EWM system and demonstrate that it achieves high measurement accuracy and has a short convergence time which enables it to monitor the popularity trends over short time scales.
