Hi there, As an example, I set up Squid 2.7 on a HP BL460c (4x Quad-core CPU, 24GB RAM) with Redhat 5 running bonded NICs over a 2x 2G port channel to a Cisco 6509. It took several days of testing to get the Kernel tuned to be able to handle a high rate of connections (things like tcp_max_syn_backlog, tcp_tw_recycle, tcp_rmem, tcp_fin_timeout etc). Squid was also tuned to maximise use of memory, as opposed to disk cache. The maximum sustained connections achieved was in the region of ~2,000 conns per second, and equated to ~980Mbps for a single server. The content that was being requested was purely static html and images. Hope that gives you some sort of view as to what is achievable. Gareth ----- Follow me on...
