You need to watch out for ACL complexity: I've had an experience with NetCache appliances where due to a complex ACL (ported over from a running Squid conf), the actual performance of a NetCache box was exactly 1/3rd of the specs (600 hits/second, down from a spec of 1.8k) Kinkie

RE: [squid-users] Best Caching Engine
Thanks Aaron This is really useful info. Any idea how much traffic these box can handle ? For example one Netcache C 2300 box, what kind of load it can handle.

Re: [squid-users] Best Caching Engine
According to my discussion with some vendors, the C2300 does this: 1200 http transactions per sec in forward proxy (I believe the effective hit ratio is 55% for this test set) 1800 http tps in reverse proxy (90% hit ratio for this test set) As for throughput, it probably comes with a few ports of gigabit ethernet connectivity, but it can be expanded with additional ports.
