Hello Everyone, Just one comment and question. 1) we're using the squid to optimize HLS (http based) video streaming exactly via caching, so you can deliver more efficiently a cached video segments instead of directly communicating with an origin server(s). 2) does anyone know, if/when collapsed forwarding feature is going to be incorporated into Squid 3.x?

There is no optimization for live streaming without caching. The Squid collapsed-forwarding feature for splitting single response to multiple clients relies on responses being cacheable (even if not stored) so that multiple clients are *allowed* to receive them. Live streams are usually marked as non-cacheable, and Flash video is even worse since each stream has different framing intervals depending on when each client connected with adaptive bitrate frames depending on each clients individual end-to-end latency. This assumes the stream is an HTTP data stream. A lot of streams these days are ICY protocol, even if displayed by a Flash script interpreter. Amos
