Re: [squid-users] Squid Proxy sizes

[Gokhan ERYOL]

Here, I installed squid for 8000 people, with approximately 12000 
request per minute, 155 Mbps inside, 34 Mbps dedicated outside bandwidth 
and works like a charm. Some adjustment should be done for memory sizing.

Clustering with second one will bring redundancy.

Hi all,

I may be asked shortly to provide web proxy/caching solutions for some
(for me) rather large Internet connections. 12-15000 people per site and
the Internet lines are 10-20Mbit in size.
I have run squid successfully on lines up to 2.5Mbit with about 2000
people using the servers running Linux (RedHat 6.2 & 7.3) and squid
2.4STABLE6.
Will I be able to ramp up to the larger lines, and what sort of
hardware/software combinations will I need?
I have checked the FAQ and the sizing link and that doesn't go near the
numbers I need to support.
   

Not sure, I had some nearbye network admins from Leuven University
abandoning squid for 20000 users because they said it was too slow.
They went for cisco hw caching solutions.
Opinions my vary.

TIA.
