I'm not at work right now so can't say the exact scenario but afaik we were trying to reproduce our production load so it should be somehow close to the real life traffic. > Thanks, > Eliezer > > ---- > Eliezer Croitoru > Linux System Administrator > Mobile: +972-5-28704261 > Email: eliezer@xxxxxxxxxxxx > > > > -----Original Message----- > From: squid-users [mailto:squid-users-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Ivan Larionov > Sent: Friday, July 7, 2017 17:07 > To: Amos Jeffries <squid3@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> > Cc: squid-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > Subject: Re: Huge amount of time_wait connections after upgrade from v2 to v3 > > Thank you for the fast reply. > >>> On Jul 7, 2017, at 01:10, Amos Jeffries <squid3@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: >>> >>> On 07/07/17 13:55, Ivan Larionov wrote: >>> Hi.

The trick is in finding the right balance of timeouts on both client and server idle pconn to get the minimum of total WAIT states.
