[squid-users] 100Mbps Connection Issues

[Alex Crow]

Speed tests will always enforce "nocache" so you will always see 
overhead from a speed test site.

That's just the way proxies work. You can't make a single, "new" 
download any quicker that it would be, and since it has a flag telling 
Squid not to cache it, Squid has to go the the trouble of both 
retrieving the content and then passing it on to the client.

Those figures are very good so I'd not actually worry about them. Using 
delay pools will show "bouncy" performance as it's based on buckets - 
when the bucket of data is empty the server have to start refilling it 
before anything comes back to your client.

Cheers

Alex

When running a speed test from the server, the results are 100Mbps/100Mbps+. But when running the speed test from a proxy client, the results are only 85Mbps/50Mbps. I have tried “Delay Pools”, and also created a fresh install physical server with two NIC’s (one public facing, one private) getting the same results. Speeds hit 85Mbps/50Mbps, then abruptly stop and bounce of those numbers.
