Thank you Amos. We have the CPU two Intel Xeon 5620 (each with 4 cores on Linux). The memory is 32GB, with SAS or SATA disk as the storage. If we run a single SMP squid with 8 workders,can it handle 600-700 Mb/s for accelerating the video files? Thanks. 2012/9/12 Amos Jeffries <squid3@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>: > On 12/09/2012 4:35 p.m., DNSbed wrote: >> >> Hello, >> >> So squid-3.2 has been supporting SMP now, how much network traffic can >> it handle? >> 500Mb/s or more? >> >> Thanks. > > > Mb/s is a "useless" measure for HTTP.
