Re: [squid-users] max traffic for squid-3.2

Thank you Amos.
We have the CPU two Intel Xeon 5620 (each with 4 cores on Linux).
The memory is 32GB, with SAS or SATA disk as the storage.
If we run a single SMP squid with 8 workders,can it handle 600-700
Mb/s for accelerating the video files?

Thanks.
