Re: [squid-users] Best Caching Engine

According to my discussion with some vendors, the C2300 does this:
1200 http transactions per sec in forward proxy (I believe the
effective hit ratio is 55% for this test set)
1800 http tps in reverse proxy (90% hit ratio for this test set)
As for throughput, it probably comes with a few ports of gigabit
ethernet connectivity, but it can be expanded with additional ports.
It has 6 144gb 15k rpm fc disks, and I assume it uses the same io
architecture as most of the other netapp products.
