how we can achieve 5000 RPS through squid ,,,,

Why are you asking?

Or another question, what is the RPS that you are getting now? Then we can look and see where the bottlenecks are and what can be done to increase the numbers.

Hi ,
This is Liley ,,,

can anyone tell me what
requests per second can squid3 serves ,
especially if we run it on the top of a hardware with OCZ RevoDrive 3
X2 (200,000 Random Write 4K IOPS)

Thanks in advance .


These are some performance stats from network admin who have been willing to
donate the info publicly:
http://wiki.squid-cache.org/KnowledgeBase/Benchmarks

As for the OCZ question, Squid has been known to burn through SSDs a lot
faster than manufacturer claims of their lifetime. Squid traffic is
mostly-write with >50Mbps write peak rates where SSD are manufactured for
mostly-read I/O patterns. I've recently been told of one ISP reaching around
100Mbps writes on average with no trouble at all.

The OCZ is rated well above that, so is unlikely to be a visible bottleneck.
You are more likely to be throttled by the speed Squid can parse new
requests. Which is CPU bound.
