A. Servers with BranchCache enabled have a set of BranchCache Kernel Mode Perfmon counters that give a good idea of the state of the BranchCache, as shown here.

Some of the key counters include:

  • BranchCache aware HTTP Requests: Number of HTTP requests received that are BranchCache aware

  • Client Cache Miss Bytes: Content served by the server because it was not available in the branch

  • Projected Server Bytes Without Caching: How much data would have been sent from the server if BranchCache weren't enabled

  • Server Cache Miss Bytes: Data served because no hashes were locally available on the server

  • Total Hash Generations Accepted: Hash generations for data requested

  • Total Hash Retrievals Accepted: Hash values given to clients
