This is just my opinion.. Our Squid boxes this morning were hitting as high as 73% hit rate. This is unusually high I must admit but compared to our Cacheflow boxes, we never seen near that high of a rate. The pre-fetching in the Cacheflow boxes we found were killing bandwidth when not needed.... To qualify this information, the Cacheflow were older models. The newer ones may be much better, don't know..:) Paul -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-isp@FreeBSD.ORG [mailto:owner-freebsd-isp@FreeBSD.ORG]On Behalf Of Scott Muller Sent: July 24, 2001 11:09 PM To: freebsd-isp@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: RE: Web Caching Engine We use Cabletron/Enterasys SSR 2000's http://www.enterasys.com/products/items/SSR-2-B128/ (or whatever they're called this month!) and Cacheflow boxes with no problem at all. We sit at about 43% of data loaded from the local cacheflow, damn dynamic content :).
