The specification of the boxes are 2 x Intel Xeon 2.6GHHz CPU and 2.5GB RAM as well as 2 x Xeon 3.6GHz with 2GB RAM. > > Basically there is no caching configured on the squid apps and it is being used like a middle man between client and web/apps servers which has both http and https transaction. > > Kindly advise the following: > > 1. What is the maximum number of requests that each box can serve or is there any documentation or calculation that can derived the figures??? Please see http://wiki.squid-cache.org/KnowledgeBase/Benchmarks , or browse through the squid-users mailing list In general, your setup should be able to sustain several hundred requests per second. > 2. What is the maximum number of clients that each box can support??? Virtually unlimited, given the limitation above. It really depends on what those clients are doing. > 3. is there any data in squid that is able to tell how much time squid need to process each request passing thru it??? Yes.
