Re: Adequate box?

1:- You have a Great Bandwidth .

2:- Squid Caches not Staticly its Dynamic. So If u have 13 G space its
depend on Your Configuration.

4:- Basically I Believe Cache did not Blongs Much to Bandwidth, Its
basically your Traffic Pattren. So what is did is that Cache Most Frequent
Visited Sites and store them on Local Lan. So Ofcource a Great Saving of
bandwith.

5:- 13G means that almost all the Papular Sites On that Net can be Cached
So why to wait .:-))

Subject: Adequate box?

> I am researching transparent web caching servers to reduce our bandwidth
to the internet. We have a 15M pipe that can burst to 30M and it looks a
though we are bursting a lot. Squid seems to be a solution worth looking at
and we have an AIX machine with 512M memory but only about 13G disk space.
Is it worth trying to set up a caching server with that size disk space? We
are trying to do this as economically as possible.
