Re: [squid-users] Performance (RPS) on 2.7

Josh,

I have no idea about the specifics you're looking for, but 20-30Mbs of traffic is in the range of what our 2.6 proxy current handles, servicing a 1Gb link for ~650 users. Our peak sustained RPS is about 120. Server is a dual Quad Xeon with 4Gb, and ~300Gb cache. All clients are connected via 100Mbps campus LAN connections. I haven't seen any indication that our server is overworked, aside from log files getting larger each day (some days 2Gb+).

FWIW, I'm talking about 20-30Mbit of traffic.

Take the published stats and divide by ten. 
Network fetches are about 10x-15x slower than local disk fetches.
