RE: [squid-users] WCCP Transparent Proxy on High Volume network

Hi,

I'm using 8192 on a box just like yours with around peak traffic at 40Mbits....the normal status of the file descriptors on those peak times is 2200.....

Hello,

I have to rebuild squid because with mu initial setup, my server started "Running out of filedescriptors" . But I need to set the number of file descriptors "I desire to use".

What is an acceptable number of file descriptors to allow ? (so then I
do not rebuild squid again :( )

How do I determine the right value for my kernel and system ?

I run
RHEL v4 + 2.6.9-22.ELsmp #1 SMP + squid-2.5 Stable12 RAM 4Gig, Cache Size 40 Gigs and +

Thanks for your answers,

Regards

Daniel
