Gentlen, I'm wondering if you could do me a massive favor and exchange some experience you might have gathered with building squid regarding TCP scalability.
I've been writing a SIP proxy server, SER (www.iptel.org/ser), which typically operates in UDP mode. Now in the IETF, TCP is gaining more momentum. SER supports it but compared to UDP it scales rather poorly -- at the moment we can't get more than 50k connections out of it. Could you share with me, how many TCP connections can squid handle, if you have any performance measurment results, tuning tips, etc? I would be really very thankful for any intelligence you can provide me with. -jiri -- Jiri Kuthan http://iptel.org/~jiri/
