Hi! It have been a long time since the last time I saw a large amount of users with just one squid proxy (8 years or so). Anyway, from what I can remember, I had a couple of interesting points: number of opened files, and number of simultaneous connections. I had to tune: kernel (proc), system (ulimit) and squid parameters back then. Anyway, If I find my really old notes, I may be able to give some more useful info, in the meantime, analyze these points. I hope this helps, Ildefonso Camargo On Fri, Apr 16, 2010 at 10:27 AM, Ananth <ananth.br@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Dear Team, > > I have configure squid 3.1 on Fedora core 12. > > my hardware configuration: > > CPU INFO: Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5440 @ 2.83GHz > RAM : 8 GB > HDD : 160 GB > > The problem i m facing is when my http requests are above 130 hist per > second the pages start browsing slow and time out i cant even access > cachemanager. if the http hit rate is below 130 hist per second it > fine. please check if my configuration is correct. sorry for my poor > english. > > Thanks, > Ananth B.R. > > my configuration is as fallows: > > ########### Start of squid.conf #created by ANANTH############# > cache_effective_user squid > cache_effective_group squid > > http_port 3128 transparent > > cache_dir ufs /var/spool/squid 16384 16 256 > > cache_access_log /var/log/squid/access.log > cache_log /var/log/squid/cache.log > cache_store_log none > logfile_rotate 7 > emulate_httpd_log on > > cache_mem 2 GB > maximum_object_size_in_memory 512 KB > memory_replacement_policy lru > cache_replacement_policy lru > maximum_object_size 64 MB > > hierarchy_stoplist cgi-bin ? > acl QUERY urlpath_regex cgi-bin \? > no_cache deny QUERY > > hosts_file /etc/hosts > > refresh_pattern ^ftp: 1440 20% 10080 > refresh_pattern ^gopher: 1440 0% 1440 > refresh_pattern . 0 40% 4320 > > #acl all src 0.0.0.0/0 > > ##Define your network below > > acl mynetwork src 192.168.106.0/24 # cbinetwork private > acl mynetwork src 192.168.107.0/24 # cbinetwork private > acl mynetwork src 192.168.110.0/24 # cbinetwork private > acl mynetwork src 192.168.120.0/24 # cbinetwork private > acl mynetwork src 192.168.121.0/24 # cbinetwork private > acl mynetwork src 192.168.130.0/24 # cbinetwork private > acl mynetwork src 192.168.150.0/24 # cbinetwork private > acl mynetwork src 192.168.151.0/24 # cbinetwork private > acl mynetwork src 10.100.101.0/24 # cbinetwork private > acl manager proto cache_object > acl localhost src 127.0.0.1/32 > acl localhost src ::1/128 > acl to_localhost dst 127.0.0.0/8 > acl to_localhost dst ::1/128 > acl purge method PURGE > acl CONNECT method CONNECT > > acl Safe_ports port 80 # http > acl Safe_ports port 21 # ftp > acl Safe_ports port 443 # https > > acl Safe_ports port 1025-65535 #unregistered ports > > acl SSL_ports port 443 563 > > http_access allow manager localhost > http_access deny manager > http_access allow purge localhost > http_access deny purge > http_access deny !Safe_ports > http_access deny CONNECT !SSL_ports > > http_access allow localhost > http_access allow mynetwork > # http_access deny all > http_reply_access allow all > icp_access allow mynetwork > > # icp_access deny all > > visible_hostname proxy.xxx.xx > > coredump_dir /var/spool/squid > > ######## End of squid.conf ########## >
