Anything reasonably recent running Squid 2.6 should handle at least 500 clients, maybe more. Maybe a thousand. The cyclic filesystem support in squid-2.6 dramatically increases the number of clients Squid can handle. Squid-2.6 should be able to cache a few multiples of 10 megabits these days, especially if you're using COSS. But as I've said in a few other posts, I've been out of the loop running proxy caches. I'm still getting back in to said loop. Hopefully others can contribute more accurate and up-to-date figures. Adrian
