[squid-users] Setup questionnaire ?? Was : Re: [squid-users] System Config

Wouldn't it be a good idea to make a document in the WiKi/FAQ describing
some setups of different sizes ?
That would perhaps help novice users to estimate what they need for a
given user base.
I would be willing to put things together; however before requesting
information from cache operators the first question is what we need to
know.

My suggestions would be (please comment and add your own favorites):

a) Hardware :
- CPU
- Memory
- Cache HD

b) System
- OS
- Cache FS
- other tasks beside squid

c) Squid
- version
- type and no. of authenticators
- no. of ACLs
- delay pools

d) users
- max number of users
- typical simultaneous users

e) connection
- type of conn
- upload and download speed
- bandwidth management limits

f) performance
- typical no of HTTP requests / day or hour
- typical system load

g) remarks

Yours,
Jakob Curdes
