A fairly standard machine by todays measures can handle 100-200 requests /second with only a little tuning.
Example configuration * Decent CPU (PIII/Celeron) * Decent amount of memory (1GB) * 3-4 IDE drives, or SCSI SCA if you want hot-swap for service purposes.. (cold-swap IDE bays also work for service purposes, but does not fit in 1U) Regards Henrik tis 2003-01-28 klockan 12.06 skrev HBK: > Actaully we are Cable Operator, currently the load is 30 req/sec but it'll > increase, so we would liek to configure a machine which can handle around > 100 - 200 req/sec, > please comemcnt if squid can handle such large load, > how much bandwidth can one squid box take liek currently we are deploying one > squid box for each 2 Mbps, > we'll use Inet P 4 Entry Level server Board with P4 2.53 GHz Processror > and 1 GB RAM > > It would be great help if you can advise machine and squid configuration > > Regards > > ---------- Original Message ----------- > From: Henrik Nordstrom <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: HBK <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Sent: 27 Jan 2003 15:11:32 +0100 > Subject: Re: [squid-users] squid with multiple NICS > > > CPU wise about 200-250 requests/s or ca 15-20 Mbps IIRC. > > > > But to use all of that you need more drives.
