RE: [squid-users] cache hit and byte hit ratio

Thanks Chris

I increased my maximum_object size to 128mb ( earlier it was 32 MB )
And I changes replacement policy also. I can see my byte hit ratio has
increased to 20-25 %.
How can I further increase it. What other parameter I must consider.
I have noticed lot of traffic for windows update. Is there any way to
cache that. I tried using refresh pattern for same but I still get
TCP_MISS.

Thanks - LK

What have you done so far? Look into "maximum_object_size", and the
"heap LFUDA" cache(and memory)_replacement_policy. They can make a big
difference in cache ratios.
