Thanks Chris I increased my maximum_object size to 128mb ( earlier it was 32 MB ) And I changes replacement policy also. I can see my byte hit ratio has increased to 20-25 %. How can I further increase it. What other parameter I must consider. I have noticed lot of traffic for windows update. Is there any way to cache that. I tried using refresh pattern for same but I still get TCP_MISS.

They can make a big difference in cache ratios.
