Several hundred requests per second, measured by a telco provider squid gateway system in production usage. I have measured 400+ in the lab for 2.7 and 600+ in the lab for 3.0STABLE3 and beyond (but latest is best); I haven't benchmarked 3.1. I have seen sustained stable performance of prod servers which was 50% or more of that in daily peaks (hours long at those levels) with good results. Results are approximately the same with small clusters (2-5 servers per cache group), scaling linearly. Systems: Modern dual CPU quad core 2.5-3.0 GHz Intel or AMD CPUs and 4+ GB RAM, with 2 HD for AUFS cache, 1 HD for logs, 1 HD for OS. -george william herbert george.herbert@xxxxxxxxx On Sun, Jan 24, 2010 at 3:13 PM, BarneyC <barney_cordoba@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > I'm trying to get a handle on the number of RPS (Maximum) a residential ISP > is likely to see on a busy 100Mb/s network (close to capacity).
