[squid-users] FW: Load balanced cache-server

Hi all,

We’re medium sized ISP and want to implement caching.
After doing some research, we decided to use load balancer with 4-5 servers.
Our exiting gateway bandwidth is totally 300Mbps. After doing some
calculations included in O’Reilly ‘Web Caching ‘ we got to have a  2800GB of
cache-dir and a huge amount of memory. The question is did I miscalculate?
Or anyone has a better suggestion?

The calculation specifics are:

Bandwidth 300Mbps
Total 80% of the bandwidth is HTTP
Cache-hit: 40%
Cache-miss: 60%
Non-cacheable objects: 20%

Any help is appreciated.

Best Regards,

Battsetseg. M
