UNIX uses filedescriptors for everything, including network connections.

What this means is that a typical cache miss is as much as 3 entries in
the filedescriptor allocation menu:

1. Connection from the client
2. Cache object file
3. Connection to the upstream server

For cache hits you have 1 and maybe 2 (depends on if it was a disk or a
memory hit).

For uncacheable requests you will have 1 and 3.
