[squid-users] Maximum Bandwidth a squid server can Handle

[Siva Prakash]

Thanks for your valuable input, Eliezer and Amos.

I have added the rough hardware and squid configuration, please guide me
out with how much request squid can handle per second,

CPU Speed - each 3.30GHz( totally 5 processors)

RAM - 4 GB

NIC - one 10 GB Ethernet Adapter

Squid Version - 3.4

Squid configuration - For authentication, it is integrated with AD and lots
of ACLs(1000) to block sites.
