Everyone, I'm in the process of upgrading some squid servers from an early 2.5 release to 2.6. Right now we have a relatively simple setup, with squids on two different boxes that act as siblings; in the future we will probably be maintaining this sort of flat hierarchy if additional squids are added. They squids currently communicate with each other using ICP. Are there any compelling reasons to use HTCP rather than ICP? My limited understanding of the subject is that as it stands ICP and HTCP are roughly equivalent, but that the HTCP implementation in Squid 3.0 will be improved and that might make HTCP more compelling at that time. Is this correct? For a simple flat hierarchy with sibling squids will moving to HTCP provide any tangible benefits? Are there any risks in migrating to HTCP? -- Evan Klitzke <evan@xxxxxxxx>
