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,

Never really had a major problem with this. Just keep P2P apps limited at the core router, no intercell relay and connection limits per customer. It would be nice if there was a polling implementation that could be easily implemented with standards-based equipment instead of proprietary
