tproxy squid bridge very slow when cache is full
- by Roberto
I have installed a bridge tproxy proxy in a fast server with 8GB ram. The
traffic is around 60Mb/s.
When I start for first time the proxy (with the cache empty) the proxy
works very well but when the cache becomes full (few hours later) the
bridge goes very slow, the traffic goes below 10Mb/s and the proxy server
becomes unusable.
Any hints of what may be happening?
I'm using:
linux-2.6.30.10
iptables-1.4.3.2
squid-3.1.1
compiled with these options:
./configure --prefix=/usr --mandir=/usr/share/man --infodir=/usr/share/info --datadir=/usr/share --localstatedir=/var/lib --sysconfdir=/etc/squid --libexecdir=/usr/libexec/squid --localstatedir=/var --datadir=/usr/share/squid --enable-removal-policies=lru,heap --enable-icmp --disable-ident-lookups --enable-cache-digests --enable-delay-pools --enable-arp-acl --with-pthreads --with-large-files --enable-htcp --enable-carp --enable-follow-x-forwarded-for --enable-snmp --enable-ssl --enable-async-io=32 --enable-linux-netfilter --enable-epoll --disable-poll --with-maxfd=16384 --enable-err-languages=Spanish --enable-default-err-language=Spanish

I have this issue when the cache is full, but do not really know if it is
because of that.
Thanks in advance and sorry my english.
