Hi, I trouble about how to reduce the ESTABLISHED statuses of connections.
It always have approximately 6300 ESTABLISHED connections when server
at high load time of the day and just reduce below 1000 ESTABLISHED in
the midnight.

       1 established)
       1 Foreign
       5 FIN_WAIT2
       6 LISTEN
      11 CLOSING
      43 SYN_RECV
      63 LAST_ACK
     237 FIN_WAIT1
    1331 TIME_WAIT
    6258 ESTABLISHED

I wonder how to free the connection after data all been tranferred
between squid server and clients. (I think squid keeps connections as
much as possible).

Depends on which Squid you have. 3.1 and later try to use HTTP/1.1 features to speed up client access times. These require persistent connections.

~6300 connections is not bad. Your box can handle far more than that easily.

On another web  server (same operating system and hardware, etc ...)
which has the same connections to (because of DNS round-robin) the
ESTABLISH connections are range from 2000-3000.

This is not a valid comparison. see:
http://wiki.squid-cache.org/Features/LoadBalance#Bias:_Connection-based

This same problem affects DNS round-robin and TCP SYN load balancers. Which are also per-connection.



Generally speaking ESTABLISHED is good. They are either currently in active use or waiting and will have zero TCP connection setup delay when they are needed.

The more recent your Squid version number the more efficiently it handles persistent connections. Thus the lower number it uses. So if this is actually a problem for you a newer version is better.

You can also adjust it by tweaking the idle_timeout directive. Which determines a maximum amount of time any one connection can be kept waiting.

You can disable the persistence and all HTTP features which rely on it by configuring client_persistent_connections and/or server_persistent_connections OFF.
