I ran a squid cache (3.1.X) and saw about a 30% bandwidth savings. But
it broke facebook... No more squid.

I am in the middle of moving things around but when it was active I was seeing a 30% drop in traffic that was not P2P.

I provide them 5 meg, and have been thinking about turning it up a little, because during certain times in their computer classes, they seriously swamp that 5 megs, and they don't do p2p or download ISO's or anything else. It's just that 25 people clicking on the same links at the same moment, especially if it's some site with a small video clip or something, easily can use all 5 meg and even 10 meg and still have it feel slow. Not only that, to save money, the school IT guy moved the school's website to a server located at the school. Satellite... Is not adequate for school use, as far as I'm concerned. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Neofast, Inc, Making internet easy 541-969-8200 509-386-4589 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++Yes Hughes Satelite performs very poorly. But I'd also argue, how fast does 20 computers for elementary school kids really need to be?5. What would it cost to deploy a 100 mile microwave link between Corning and Weaverville with a minimum of 50Mbps of bandwidth but preferably 100MbpsI'm sure they could do it for much less than the $50k.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- WISPA Wants You!
