Josh, I have no idea about the specifics you're looking for, but 20-30Mbs of traffic is in the range of what our 2.6 proxy current handles, servicing a 1Gb link for ~650 users. Our peak sustained RPS is about 120. Server is a dual Quad Xeon with 4Gb, and ~300Gb cache. All clients are connected via 100Mbps campus LAN connections. I haven't seen any indication that our server is overworked, aside from log files getting larger each day (some days 2Gb+). -- Shawn Wright http://www.shawnigan.ca ----- Original Message ----- From: "Josh Baird" <jbaird@xxxxxxxxxxx> To: "Amos Jeffries" <squid3@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>, squid-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Tuesday, February 2, 2010 12:21:25 PM GMT -08:00 US/Canada Pacific Subject: RE: Performance (RPS) on 2.7 FWIW, I'm talking about 20-30Mbit of traffic.

Network fetches are about 10x-15x slower than local disk fetches. Amos -- Please be using Current Stable Squid 2.7.STABLE7 or 3.0.STABLE23 Current Beta Squid 3.1.0.16
