Hello all, I am doing some tests for implementing ICp in our SQUID platform including two level of SQUID devices, the SQUID proxies the users are connected on and the Gateways directly connected on the internet. After reading some old pdf documents I found on the net it seems if I good understood the way it works, an icp query is sent to all parent caches each time a url must be retrieved from the internet. config at proxy level .. icp_port 3130 icp_query_timeout 0 maximum_icp_query_timeout 50 # (milliseconds) dead_peer_timeout 1 second log_icp_queries off icp_hit_stale off icp_access deny all config at gateway level .. icp_port 3130 log_icp_queries off icp_hit_stale off icp_access allow srcip_internalproxies icp_access deny all I made a very little test for requesting from my proxy (sbeaskda) a web resource from the freebsd website. This proxy gets two parents (sbepskcw and sbepskcy). # squidclient http://www.freebsd.org/layout/css/fixed.css # snoop ... sbeaskda -> sbepskcw UDP D=3130 S=3130 LEN=76 sbeaskda -> sbepskcy UDP D=3130 S=3130 LEN=76 sbepskcw -> sbeaskda UDP D=3130 S=3130 LEN=72 sbepskcy -> sbeaskda UDP D=3130 S=3130 LEN=72 sbeaskda -> sbepskcw HTTP GET http://www.freebsd.org/layout/css/fixed.css HTTP/1.0 sbepskcw -> sbeaskda HTTP (proxy) R port=58841 sbepskcw -> sbeaskda HTTP HTTP/1.0 200 OK sbeaskda -> sbepskcw HTTP (proxy) C port=58841 We see the proxy sending an udp request to port 3130 to all the parents, each of them replying to the request. We then see the http query sent to sbepskcw. This is all working fine but I also read in this same pdf that if the object retrieved is not too large, the gateway can include the object (in this case the css page) in the udp reply so the proxy client does not have to send an icp and http query for each object. so my question is .. Is this still the case with SQUID ?
not sure. maybe.
If yes, why not in this case ? If not, do I have to enable something for this ?
To be certain try HTCP. Amos -- Please be using Current Stable Squid 2.7.STABLE6 or 3.0.STABLE14 Current Beta Squid 3.1.0.7
