1. A network traffic simulation tool for at least one content storing server, comprising:
- a first network interface to sniff traffic between at least a first portion of a network and at least a second portion of the network;
a storage for storing at least information for content received through the first network interface;
a second network interface configured to communicate with the at least first portion of the network and the at least second portion of the network;
a processing unit; and
a memory containing instructions that, when executed by the processing unit, cause the apparatus to;
sniff traffic between at least the first portion of the network and at least the second portion of the network, wherein the sniffing listens to the traffic moving between the at least the first portion of the network and the at least the second portion of the network while the sniffed traffic passes directly between the at least the first portion of the network and the at least the second portion of the traffic;
identify from the sniffed traffic at least a source of the content and at least a destination of the content;
when the content is stored in a cache;
simulate a notification for the content; and
generate a simulation of traffic for at least;
the content and the simulated notification.

Abstract
Methods and systems are provided for generating a traffic simulation respective of at least one content storing server, the content storing server operative for caching popular content. One method includes sniffing traffic between at least a first portion of a network and at least a second portion of the network, identifying, from the sniffed traffic, at least a source of content and at least a destination of the content, determining if the content is stored on a cache, simulating a notification respective of the content, and generating a simulation of traffic respective at least of: the content and the simulated notification.
