[squid-users] Re:Re: RE: [squid-users] What hardware shou

Hi, Henrik!

The average band with of our university is about 20Mbps, and
the highest band width is about 35Mbps. We use MRTG to get the
result. The two numbers seems stable for the last two months.

The second question, I want to keep Squid cache as much as I can.
Maybe for more than 3 years.

Cheers,
Erik
