Remarks

If the cache size exceeds the specified limit, the memory cache implementation removes cache entries.

The setting for the PhysicalMemoryLimit property can be read from physicalMemoryLimitPercentage configuration attribute in the application configuration file. Alternatively, the value can be passed when the MemoryCache class is initialized.
