Re: [squid-users] Wccp, Cache Lost

FWIW: Even a 2501 can be easily overloaded by a moderate Polygraph
load. I can overload mine with just a few Mbits of traffic (i.e. 45+
reqs/sec). Low end Ciscos aren't exactly built for speed. ;-)

I don't have enough machines to set up a test of your theory about load
and losing caches, however. Maybe next time I've got a box on the bench
for a client I'll test.
