I'm trying to get a handle on the number of RPS (Maximum) a residential ISP

I'm trying to at least interpolate the largest network load a single squid
box could handle without requiring clustering.
Thanks,

The stats vary depending on actual visitor behavior and needs.
The pipe can be maxed trivially easy. Just download something huge. I've
watched Squid max out a 10MB/s pipe with less than 1 RPS to a dedicated
client.
Going purely at those rate (maximum usage per client) an ISP with
100MB/s links could perhapse handle 100 clients concurrently downloading.
Squid does quite naturally balance the load between clients though. So
several thousand clients are handled easily. The reports from real-life
ISP go up as high as 800 RPS for a single instance and 5,000 concurrent
RPS for a small cluster of Squid.
