hi guys , i have installed centos 6.3 i recompiled it with kernel 3.7.5 with tproxy suppport . i want to say that squid 3.1 with kernel 3.7.5 is good , and i can make caching about 25 % recently , i purchased third party which is called "videocache " this party can be used to cache the youtube videos . ------------------------------------------------------------------ but im facing some problems when using videocache with squid . the problem are as follow : 1- squidguard begin to bypass althoug i chained it with videocache during the rush hours !!!!! 2- the performance of video cache is bad , it just make about 5 M at max . i monitored the sessions that videocache is running , by the command #netstat -ant | grep 4444 ""note that the port 4444 is the port of apache that videocache uses it " i found that most of session of videocache is TIME_WAIT , and few of session is considered as ESTABLISHED . i had a look on the wiki below about some old kernels can make time wait problems : http://wiki.squid-cache.org/Features/Tproxy4#Linux_Kernel_ not sure if the problem from my kernel 3.7.5 !!! but as i mentioned , the old kernels : """"2.6.28 to 2.6.36 are known to have ICMP and TIME_WAIT issues """ but im not sure if the problem of videocache is from kernel or another issue . i wish a guy that used centos with videocache with no problems to tell me which kernel he used that gave him a best performance and how much Bw he could save note that my current users is about 3000 users and i can make caching about 25 % , i think if i added the videocache i can make more caching ? any suggestions to my issue above ??? with my best regards -- View this message in context: http://squid-web-proxy-cache.1019090.n4.nabble.com/which-kernel-is-best-for-squid-3-xx-with-centos-6-3-with-youtube-caching-tp4658999.html Sent from the Squid - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
