Wouldn't it be a good idea to make a document in the WiKi/FAQ describing
some setups of different sizes ?
That would perhaps help novice users to estimate what they need for a
given user base.
I would be willing to put things together; however before requesting
information from cache operators the first question is what we need to
know.
My suggestions would be (please comment and add your own favorites):
a) Hardware :
- CPU
- Memory
- Cache HD
b) System
- OS
- Cache FS
- other tasks beside squid
c) Squid
- version
- type and no. of authenticators
- no. of ACLs
- delay pools
d) users
- max number of users
- typical simultaneous users
e) connection
- type of conn
- upload and download speed
- bandwidth management limits
f) performance
- typical no of HTTP requests / day or hour
- typical system load
g) remarks
Yours,
Jakob Curdes
