   In my graduate work I have proposed an approach called "Protocol-level
   Profiling" (PLP) for characterizing client-server interaction. The basic
   idea behind PLP is to checkpoint the interaction between the client and the
   server and then estimate the computation invoked on the server by carefully
   assigning a cost to each of the messages on the basis of its attributes.

   I have written a profiler, Xprof, which is a protocol-level profiler
   for X Window applications. It is available by anonymous ftp from
   roundup.crhc.uiuc.edu (128.174.197.134) under /pub/Xprof.

   Question:
   ---------
   I am curious to know if such a strategy has been used to characterize any
   other client-server system.  Any pointers?

   I will summarize and post all such responses.

   Thank you in advance
