What I'd LOVE to figure out how to set up is a spoke and hub cache system.
Squid (and probably other caches) support something similar, in the form
of parent and child caches. It sorta works backwards from what you
described, but the net benefit would be similar.
Basically, you set up caches at
You can do this as well with Mikrotik.
MT is very, very simple. We have seen avg savings of between 20-40%.
With 25-30% being avg. Also, you can specify what sites you want to
cache, typically done by IP, but you could also say that you only want
to cache sites that are on different areas
Hi,
Are you somehow redirecting traffic to the MT box, or having all the
traffic go through the box?
Cache hit rates are going to depend on the size of the network... a
250GB drive would only cache about 4 hours of http traffic on my
network... hit rates would be less than 5% I would guess.
Keep in mind that if you move 250 gig, that does not mean that it will
cache that. CNN is an exaxmple that has a cache time of 0 seconds, so it
never caches it.That type of thing.I have never had a major
issue with MT caching services. Works VERY good.

The people that we had the most problems with were web designers who's
sites were cached and they couldn't easily see their changes.
We always told then to add no cache to their sites.
Thats an easy one to fix. Tell them to press [CTRL] F5. Thats all it
takes on virtually any standards
You can build a good squid box with lots of memory and fast hard drives
and get good results. The squid setup is also nearly infinitely
tunable, as opposed to the ones in Mikrotik and StarOS which have a
pretty vanilla configuration. Being able to tune the cache parameters
helps a lot,
I've been watching the internet tv for the past 9 months. CNN, FOX, NBC,
etc all have their news online. It would be great if those were
cachable. Just like on tv a lot of the news bits are over and over again
and why should we have to keep paying each view.
The content providers like akamai,
In another attempt to light the bandwidth load we are going to setup a
cache server. Any thoughts or suggestions on which one to use?

They place their content servers at your noc so some content is closer
to your customer. During dial up days we used both akamai and a squid
caching server and it helped.

When we had that trouble we just had to teach them to use the shift,
refresh trick. forced the cache to load the new page now instead of when
it normally would have. No trouble with them after that.

Any stats, on how much RAM is a good amount to allocated for the cache
servers, per user served?
Obviously, a large fast DiskDrive, is needed if caching a lot of large

Tom,
You can find all kinds of information if you do searches on squid. It's a
very popular caching system that runs on *nix. The amount of RAM is directly
related to the size of the disk cache.

Yeah. I don't think they do any cache units anymore.
