Good numbers. I believe that it would be very beneficial to the community if you wouldn't mind sharing the kernel tweaks and squid tweaks that you used to achieve these numbers.

It took several days of testing to get the Kernel tuned to be able to handle a high rate of connections (things like tcp_max_syn_backlog, tcp_tw_recycle, tcp_rmem, tcp_fin_timeout etc). Squid was also tuned to maximise use of memory, as opposed to disk cache. The maximum sustained connections achieved was in the region of ~2,000 conns per second, and equated to ~980Mbps for a single server. The content that was being requested was purely static html and images. Hope that gives you some sort of view as to what is achievable. Gareth ----- Follow me on...
