squid measures hitrate and byte-hitrate. Hitrate is the % of objects, fetched from cache. Byte-hitrate is the amount of bytes fetched from cache versus amount of traffic. As an example. you have 100MB traffic, which consists out of 1 video, 50MB, and 99 objects, 0.5MB each. When all the small objects are fetched from cache, you have a hit-rate of 99%, but only byte-hitrate of 50%. When only the video is in cache, hit-rate is only 1%, but byte-hitrate is also 50%. So, regarding caching/caching of videos, my hit-rate is only about 10%. But the byte-hitrate is between 30%-35%, which is the amount of traffic saved. So, for me about 6GB/day, because of 1/3 of 20GB/day, >i monitored the cache of videocache it just make 5 M - 10 M as maximum !!!!! < You mean, only 5MBit/s-10MBit/s traffic to be handled ? Thats not good. TIME_WAIT is a connection state after closing. To have a lot of conns in this state is not unusual. I have the impression, you should better ask the guys, who developed videocache, regarding performance. -- 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-tp4658999p4659011.html Sent from the Squid - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
