Re: Page Forwarding

Hi

Not sure that I understand the question, but...

The data is received and written to the appropriate data file. At the
same time data is read from the file and written out to the client as
the client is ready.

In other words:

The data flows through squid to the client at the same rate at which
it arrives. If the client can't receive the data fast enough (let's
say it's a modem user and the source site is local), Squid will buffer
a reasonable amount and stop retrieving data until the client has
caught up.

That what you meant?
