# WELCOME TO SQUID 2 # ------------------ # # This is the default Squid configuration file. You may wish # to look at the Squid home page (http://squid.nlanr.net/) # for the FAQ and other documentation. # # The default Squid config file shows what the defaults for # various options happen to be. If you don't need to change the # default, you shouldn't uncomment the line. Doing so may cause # run-time problems. In some cases "none" refers to no default # setting at all, while in other cases it refers to a valid # option - the comments for that keyword indicate if this is the # case. # # NETWORK OPTIONS # ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- # TAG: http_port # Usage: port # hostname:port # 1.2.3.4:port # # The socket addresses where Squid will listen for HTTP client # requests. You may specify multiple socket addresses. # There are three forms: port alone, hostname with port, and # IP address with port. If you specify a hostname or IP # address, then Squid binds the socket to that specific # address. This replaces the old 'tcp_incoming_address' # option. Most likely, you do not need to bind to a specific # address, so you can use the port number alone. # # The default port number is 3128. # # If you are running Squid in accelerator mode, then you # probably want to listen on port 80 also, or instead. # # The -a command line option will override the *first* port # number listed here. That option will NOT override an IP # address, however. # #http_port 3128 # TAG: icp_port # The port number where Squid sends and receives ICP queries to # and from neighbor caches. Default is 3130. To disable use # "0". May be overridden with -u on the command line. # #icp_port 3130 # TAG: htcp_port # The port number where Squid sends and receives HTCP queries to # and from neighbor caches. Default is 4827. To disable use # "0". # # To enable this option, you must use --enable-htcp with the # configure script. #htcp_port 4827 # TAG: mcast_groups # This tag specifies a list of multicast groups which your server # should join to receive multicasted ICP queries. # # NOTE! Be very careful what you put here! Be sure you # understand the difference between an ICP _query_ and an ICP # _reply_. This option is to be set only if you want to RECEIVE # multicast queries. Do NOT set this option to SEND multicast # ICP (use cache_peer for that). ICP replies are always sent via # unicast, so this option does not affect whether or not you will # receive replies from multicast group members. # # You must be very careful to NOT use a multicast address which # is already in use by another group of caches. # # If you are unsure about multicast, please read the Multicast # chapter in the Squid FAQ (http://squid.nlanr.net/Squid/FAQ/). # # Usage: mcast_groups 239.128.16.128 224.0.1.20 # # By default, Squid doesn't listen on any multicast groups. # #mcast_groups 239.128.16.128 # TAG: tcp_outgoing_address # TAG: udp_incoming_address # TAG: udp_outgoing_address # Usage: tcp_incoming_address 10.20.30.40 # udp_outgoing_address fully.qualified.domain.name # # tcp_outgoing_address is used for connections made to remote # servers and other caches. # udp_incoming_address is used for the ICP socket receiving packets # from other caches. # udp_outgoing_address is used for ICP packets sent out to other # caches. # # The default behavior is to not bind to any specific address. # # NOTE, udp_incoming_address and udp_outgoing_address can not # have the same value (unless it is 0.0.0.0) since they both use # port 3130. # # NOTE, tcp_incoming_address has been removed. You can now # specify IP addresses on the 'http_port' line. # #tcp_outgoing_address 0.0.0.0 #udp_incoming_address 0.0.0.0 #udp_outgoing_address 0.0.0.0 # OPTIONS WHICH AFFECT THE NEIGHBOR SELECTION ALGORITHM # ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- # TAG: cache_peer # To specify other caches in a hierarchy, use the format: # # hostname type http_port icp_port # # For example, # # # proxy icp # # hostname type port port options # # -------------------- -------- ----- ----- ----------- # cache_peer parent.foo.net parent 3128 3130 [proxy-only] # cache_peer sib1.foo.net sibling 3128 3130 [proxy-only] # cache_peer sib2.foo.net sibling 3128 3130 [proxy-only] # # type: either 'parent', 'sibling', or 'multicast'. # # proxy_port: The port number where the cache listens for proxy # requests. # # icp_port: Used for querying neighbor caches about # objects. To have a non-ICP neighbor # specify '7' for the ICP port and make sure the # neighbor machine has the UDP echo port # enabled in its /etc/inetd.conf file. # # options: proxy-only # weight=n # ttl=n # no-query # default # round-robin # multicast-responder # closest-only # no-digest # no-netdb-exchange # no-delay # login=user:password # connect-timeout=nn # digest-url=url # # use 'proxy-only' to specify that objects fetched # from this cache should not be saved locally. # # use 'weight=n' to specify a weighted parent. # The weight must be an integer. The default weight # is 1, larger weights are favored more. # # use 'ttl=n' to specify a IP multicast TTL to use # when sending an ICP queries to this address. # Only useful when sending to a multicast group. # Because we don't accept ICP replies from random # hosts, you must configure other group members as # peers with the 'multicast-responder' option below. # # use 'no-query' to NOT send ICP queries to this # neighbor. # # use 'default' if this is a parent cache which can # be used as a "last-resort." You should probably # only use 'default' in situations where you cannot # use ICP with your parent cache(s). # # use 'round-robin' to define a set of parents which # should be used in a round-robin fashion in the # absence of any ICP queries. # # 'multicast-responder' indicates that the named peer # is a member of a multicast group. ICP queries will # not be sent directly to the peer, but ICP replies # will be accepted from it. # # 'closest-only' indicates that, for ICP_OP_MISS # replies, we'll only forward CLOSEST_PARENT_MISSes # and never FIRST_PARENT_MISSes. # # use 'no-digest' to NOT request cache digests from # this neighbor. # # 'no-netdb-exchange' disables requesting ICMP # RTT database (NetDB) from the neighbor. # # use 'no-delay' to prevent access to this neighbor # from influencing the delay pools. # # use 'login=user:password' if this is a personal/workgroup # proxy and your parent requires proxy authentication. # # use 'connect-timeout=nn' to specify a peer # specific connect timeout (also see the # peer_connect_timeout directive) # # use 'digest-url=url' to tell Squid to fetch the cache # digest (if digests are enabled) for this host from # the specified URL rather than the Squid default # location. # # NOTE: non-ICP neighbors must be specified as 'parent'. # #cache_peer hostname type 3128 3130 # TAG: cache_peer_domain # Use to limit the domains for which a neighbor cache will be # queried. Usage: # # cache_peer_domain cache-host domain [domain ...] # cache_peer_domain cache-host !domain # # For example, specifying # # cache_peer_domain parent.foo.net .edu # # has the effect such that UDP query packets are sent to # 'bigserver' only when the requested object exists on a # server in the .edu domain. Prefixing the domainname # with '!' means that the cache will be queried for objects # NOT in that domain. # # NOTE: * Any number of domains may be given for a cache-host, # either on the same or separate lines. # * When multiple domains are given for a particular # cache-host, the first matched domain is applied. # * Cache hosts with no domain restrictions are queried # for all requests. # * There are no defaults. # * There is also a 'cache_peer_access' tag in the ACL # section. # TAG: neighbor_type_domain # usage: neighbor_type_domain parent|sibling domain domain ... # # Modifying the neighbor type for specific domains is now # possible. You can treat some domains differently than the the # default neighbor type specified on the 'cache_peer' line. # Normally it should only be necessary to list domains which # should be treated differently because the default neighbor type # applies for hostnames which do not match domains listed here. # #EXAMPLE: # cache_peer parent cache.foo.org 3128 3130 # neighbor_type_domain cache.foo.org sibling .com .net # neighbor_type_domain cache.foo.org sibling .au .de # TAG: icp_query_timeout (msec) # Normally Squid will automatically determine an optimal ICP # query timeout value based on the round-trip-time of recent ICP # queries. If you want to override the value determined by # Squid, set this 'icp_query_timeout' to a non-zero value. This # value is specified in MILLISECONDS, so, to use a 2-second # timeout (the old default), you would write: # # icp_query_timeout 2000 # #icp_query_timeout 0 # TAG: maximum_icp_query_timeout (msec) # Normally the ICP query timeout is determined dynamically. But # sometimes it can lead to very large values (say 5 seconds). # Use this option to put an upper limit on the dynamic timeout # value. Do NOT use this option to always use a fixed (instead # of a dynamic) timeout value. # # If 'icp_query_timeout' is set to zero, then this value is # ignored. #icp_query_timeout 2000 # TAG: mcast_icp_query_timeout (msec) # For Multicast peers, Squid regularly sends out ICP "probes" to # count how many other peers are listening on the given multicast # address. This value specifies how long Squid should wait to # count all the replies. The default is 2000 msec, or 2 # seconds. # #mcast_icp_query_timeout 2000 # TAG: dead_peer_timeout (seconds) # This controls how long Squid waits to declare a peer cache # as "dead." If there are no ICP replies received in this # amount of time, Squid will declare the peer dead and not # expect to receive any further ICP replies. However, it # continues to send ICP queries, and will mark the peer as # alive upon receipt of the first subsequent ICP reply. # # This timeout also affects when Squid expects to receive ICP # replies from peers. If more than 'dead_peer' seconds have # passed since the last ICP reply was received, Squid will not # expect to receive an ICP reply on the next query. Thus, if # your time between requests is greater than this timeout, you # will see a lot of requests sent DIRECT to origin servers # instead of to your parents. # #dead_peer_timeout 10 seconds # TAG: hierarchy_stoplist # A list of words which, if found in a URL, cause the object to # be handled directly by this cache. In other words, use this # to not query neighbor caches for certain objects. You may # list this option multiple times. # # The default is to directly fetch URLs containing 'cgi-bin' or '?'. # #hierarchy_stoplist cgi-bin ? # TAG: no_cache # A list of ACL elements which, if matched, cause the reply to # immediately removed from the cache. In other words, use this # to force certain objects to never be cached. # # You must use the word 'DENY' to indicate the ACL names which should # NOT be cached. # # There is no default. We recommend you uncomment the following # two lines. # #acl QUERY urlpath_regex cgi-bin \? #no_cache deny QUERY # OPTIONS WHICH AFFECT THE CACHE SIZE # ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- # TAG: cache_mem (bytes) # NOTE: THIS PARAMETER DOES NOT SPECIFY THE MAXIMUM PROCESS # SIZE. IT PLACES A LIMIT ON ONE ASPECT OF SQUID'S MEMORY # USAGE. SQUID USES MEMORY FOR OTHER THINGS AS WELL. # YOUR PROCESS WILL PROBABLY BECOME TWICE OR THREE TIMES # BIGGER THAN THE VALUE YOU PUT HERE # # 'cache_mem' specifies the ideal amount of memory to be used # for: # * In-Transit objects # * Hot Objects # * Negative-Cached objects # # Data for these objects are stored in 4 KB blocks. This # parameter specifies the ideal upper limit on the total size of # 4 KB blocks allocated. In-Transit objects take the highest # priority. # # In-transit objects have priority over the others. When # additional space is needed for incoming data, negative-cached # and hot objects will be released. In other words, the # negative-cached and hot objects will fill up any unused space # not needed for in-transit objects. # # If circumstances require, this limit will be exceeded. # Specifically, if your incoming request rate requires more than # 'cache_mem' of memory to hold in-transit objects, Squid will # exceed this limit to satisfy the new requests. When the load # decreases, blocks will be freed until the high-water mark is # reached. Thereafter, blocks will be used to store hot # objects. # # The default is 8 Megabytes. # #cache_mem 8 MB # TAG: cache_swap_low (percent, 0-100) # TAG: cache_swap_high (percent, 0-100) # # The low- and high-water marks for cache object replacement. # Replacement begins when the swap (disk) usage is above the # low-water mark and attempts to maintain utilization near the # low-water mark. As swap utilization gets close to high-water # mark object eviction becomes more aggressive. If utilization is # close to the low-water mark less replacement is done each time. # # Defaults are 90% and 95%. If you have a large cache, 5% could be # hundreds of MB. If this is the case you may wish to set these # numbers closer together. # #cache_swap_low 90 #cache_swap_high 95 # TAG: maximum_object_size (bytes) # Objects larger than this size will NOT be saved on disk. The # value is specified in kilobytes, and the default is 4MB. If # you wish to get a high BYTES hit ratio, you should probably # increase this (one 32 MB object hit counts for 3200 10KB # hits). If you wish to increase speed more than your want to # save bandwidth you should leave this low. # # NOTE: if using the LFUDA replacement policy you should increase # this value to maximize the byte hit rate improvement of LFUDA! # See replacement_policy below for a discussion of this policy. # #maximum_object_size 4096 KB # TAG: ipcache_size (number of entries) # TAG: ipcache_low (percent) # TAG: ipcache_high (percent) # The size, low-, and high-water marks for the IP cache. # #ipcache_size 1024 #ipcache_low 90 #ipcache_high 95 # TAG: fqdncache_size (number of entries) # Maximum number of FQDN cache entries. #fqdncache_size 1024 # LOGFILE PATHNAMES AND CACHE DIRECTORIES # ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- # TAG: cache_dir # Usage: # # cache_dir Type Directory-Name Mbytes Level-1 Level2 # # You can specify multiple cache_dir lines to spread the # cache among different disk partitions. # # Type specifies the kind of storage system to use. Most # everyone will want to use "ufs" as the type. If you are using # Async I/O (--enable async-io) on Linux or Solaris, then you may # want to try "asyncufs" as the type. Async IO support may be # buggy, however, so beware. # # 'Directory' is a top-level directory where cache swap # files will be stored. If you want to use an entire disk # for caching, then this can be the mount-point directory. # The directory must exist and be writable by the Squid # process. Squid will NOT create this directory for you. # # If no 'cache_dir' lines are specified, the following # default will be used: /usr/freeware/squid/cache. # # 'Mbytes' is the amount of disk space (MB) to use under this # directory. The default is 100 MB. Change this to suit your # configuration. # # 'Level-1' is the number of first-level subdirectories which # will be created under the 'Directory'. The default is 16. # # 'Level-2' is the number of second-level subdirectories which # will be created under each first-level directory. The default # is 256. # #cache_dir ufs /usr/freeware/squid/cache 100 16 256 # TAG: cache_access_log # Logs the client request activity. Contains an entry for # every HTTP and ICP queries received. # #cache_access_log /usr/freeware/squid/logs/access.log # TAG: cache_log # Cache logging file. This is where general information about # your cache's behavior goes. You can increase the amount of data # logged to this file with the "debug_options" tag below. # #cache_log /usr/freeware/squid/logs/cache.log # TAG: cache_store_log # Logs the activities of the storage manager. Shows which # objects are ejected from the cache, and which objects are # saved and for how long. To disable, enter "none". There are # not really utilities to analyze this data, so you can safely # disable it. # #cache_store_log /usr/freeware/squid/logs/store.log # TAG: cache_swap_log # Location for the cache "swap.log." This log file holds the # metadata of objects saved on disk. It is used to rebuild the # cache during startup. Normally this file resides in the first # 'cache_dir' directory, but you may specify an alternate # pathname here. Note you must give a full filename, not just # a directory. Since this is the index for the whole object # list you CANNOT periodically rotate it! # # If you have more than one 'cache_dir', these swap logs will # have names such as: # # cache_swap_log.00 # cache_swap_log.01 # cache_swap_log.02 # # The numbered extension (which is added automatically) # corresponds to the order of the 'cache_dir' lines in this # configuration file. If you change the order of the 'cache_dir' # lines in this file, then these log files will NOT correspond to # the correct 'cache_dir' entry (unless you manually rename # them). We recommend that you do NOT use this option. It is # better to keep these log files in each 'cache_dir' directory. # #cache_swap_log # TAG: emulate_httpd_log on|off # The Cache can emulate the log file format which many 'httpd' # programs use. To disable/enable this emulation, set # emulate_httpd_log to 'off' or 'on'. The default # is to use the native log format since it includes useful # information that Squid-specific log analyzers use. # #emulate_httpd_log off # TAG: mime_table # Pathname to Squid's MIME table. You shouldn't need to change # this, but the default file contains examples and formatting # information if you do. # #mime_table /usr/freeware/squid/etc/mime.conf # TAG: log_mime_hdrs on|off # The Cache can record both the request and the response MIME # headers for each HTTP transaction. The headers are encoded # safely and will appear as two bracketed fields at the end of # the access log (for either the native or httpd-emulated log # formats). To enable this logging set log_mime_hdrs to 'on'. # #log_mime_hdrs off # TAG: useragent_log # If configured with the "--enable-useragent_log" configure # option, Squid will write the User-Agent field from HTTP # requests to the filename specified here. By default # useragent_log is disabled. # #useragent_log none # TAG: pid_filename # A filename to write the process-id to. To disable, enter "none". # #pid_filename /usr/freeware/squid/logs/squid.pid # TAG: debug_options # Logging options are set as section,level where each source file # is assigned a unique section. Lower levels result in less # output, Full debugging (level 9) can result in a very large # log file, so be careful. The magic word "ALL" sets debugging # levels for all sections. We recommend normally running with # "ALL,1". # #debug_options ALL,1 # TAG: log_fqdn on|off # Turn this on if you wish to log fully qualified domain names # in the access.log. To do this Squid does a DNS lookup of all # IP's connecting to it. This can (in some situations) increase # latency, which makes your cache seem slower for interactive # browsing. # #log_fqdn off # TAG: client_netmask # A netmask for client addresses in logfiles and cachemgr output. # Change this to protect the privacy of your cache clients. # A netmask of 255.255.255.0 will log all IP's in that range with # the last digit set to '0'. # #client_netmask 255.255.255.255 # OPTIONS FOR EXTERNAL SUPPORT PROGRAMS # ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- # TAG: ftp_user # If you want the anonymous login password to be more informative # (and enable the use of picky ftp servers), set this to something # reasonable for your domain, like wwwuser@somewhere.net # # The reason why this is domainless by default is that the # request can be made on the behalf of a user in any domain, # depending on how the cache is used. # Some ftp server also validate that the email address is valid # (for example perl.com). # #ftp_user Squid@ # TAG: ftp_list_width # Sets the width of ftp listings. This should be set to fit in # the width of a standard browser. Setting this too small # can cut off long filenames when browsing ftp sites. # #ftp_list_width 32 # TAG: cache_dns_program # Specify the location of the executable for dnslookup process. # #cache_dns_program /usr/freeware/squid/bin/dnsserver # TAG: dns_children # The number of processes spawn to service DNS name lookups. # For heavily loaded caches on large servers, you should # probably increase this value to at least 10. The maximum # is 32. The default is 5. # # To disable dnsservers, set this to 0. NOTE, this is very # strongly discouraged. If you disable dnsservers your Squid # process will BLOCK on DNS lookups! # #dns_children 5 # TAG: dns_defnames on|off # Normally the 'dnsserver' disables the RES_DEFNAMES resolver # option (see res_init(3)). This prevents caches in a hierarchy # from interpreting single-component hostnames locally. To allow # dnsserver to handle single-component names, enable this # option. # #dns_defnames off # TAG: dns_nameservers # Use this if you want to specify a list of DNS name servers # (IP addresses) to use instead of those given in your # /etc/resolv.conf file. # # Example: dns_nameservers 10.0.0.1 192.172.0.4 # #dns_nameservers none # TAG: unlinkd_program # Specify the location of the executable for file deletion process. # This isn't needed if you are using async-io since it's handled by # a thread. # #unlinkd_program /usr/freeware/squid/bin/unlinkd # TAG: pinger_program # Specify the location of the executable for the pinger process. # This is only useful if you configured Squid (during compilation) # with the '--enable-icmp' option. # #pinger_program /usr/freeware/squid/bin/pinger # TAG: redirect_program # Specify the location of the executable for the URL redirector. # Since they can perform almost any function there isn't one included. # See the Release-Notes for information on how to write one. # By default, a redirector is not used. # #redirect_program none # TAG: redirect_children # The number of redirector processes to spawn. If you start # too few Squid will have to wait for them to process a backlog of # URLs, slowing it down. If you start too many they will use RAM # and other system resources. # #redirect_children 5 # TAG: redirect_rewrites_host_header # By default Squid rewrites any Host: header in redirected # requests. If you are running a accelerator then this may # not be a wanted effect of a redirector. #redirect_rewrites_host_header on # TAG: redirector_access # If defined, this access list specifies which requests are # sent to the redirector processes. By default all requests # are sent. # TAG: authenticate_program # Specify the command for the external authenticator. Such a # program reads a line containing "username password" and replies # "OK" or "ERR" in an endless loop. If you use an authenticator, # make sure you have 1 acl of type proxy_auth. By default, the # authenticator_program is not used. # # If you want to use the traditional proxy authentication, # jump over to the ../auth_modules/NCSA directory and # type: # % make # % make install # # Then, set this line to something like # # authenticate_program /usr/freeware/squid/bin/ncsa_auth /usr/freeware/squid/etc/passwd # #authenticate_program none # TAG: authenticate_children # The number of authenticator processes to spawn (default 5). If you # start too few Squid will have to wait for them to process a backlog # of usercode/password verifications, slowing it down. When password # verifications are done via a (slow) network you are likely to need # lots of authenticator processes. # #authenticate_children 5 # TAG: authenticate_ttl # The time a checked username/password combination remains cached # (default 3600). If a wrong password is given for a cached user, # the user gets removed from the username/password cache forcing # a revalidation. # #authenticate_ttl 3600 # TAG: authenticate_ip_ttl # With this option you control how long a proxy authentication # will be bound to a specific IP address. If a request using # the same user name is received during this time then access # will be denied and both users are required to reauthenticate # them selves. The idea behind this is to make it annoying # for people to share their password to their friends, but # yet allow a dialup user to reconnect on a different dialup # port. # # The default is 0 to disable the check. Recommended value # if you have dialup users are no more than 60 (seconds). If # all your users are stationary then higher values may be # used. # #authenticate_ip_ttl 0 # OPTIONS FOR TUNING THE CACHE # ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- # TAG: wais_relay_host # TAG: wais_relay_port # Relay WAIS request to host (1st arg) at port (2 arg). # #wais_relay_host localhost #wais_relay_port 8000 # TAG: request_header_max_size (KB) # This specifies the maximum size for HTTP headers in a request. # Request headers are usually relatively small (about 512 bytes). # Placing a limit on the request header size will catch certain # bugs (for example with persistent connections) and possibly # buffer-overflow or denial-of-service attacks. #request_header_max_size 10 KB # TAG: request_body_max_size (KB) # This specifies the maximum size for an HTTP request body. # In other words, the maximum size of a PUT/POST request. # A user who attempts to send a request with a body larger # than this limit receives an "Invalid Request" error message. # If you set this parameter to a zero, there will be no limit # imposed. #request_body_max_size 1 MB # TAG: reply_body_max_size (KB) # This option specifies the maximum size of a reply body. It # can be used to prevent users from downloading very large files, # such as MP3's and movies. The reply size is checked twice. # First when we get the reply headers, we check the # content-length value. If the content length value exists and # is larger than this parameter, the request is denied and the # user receives an error message that says "the request or reply # is too large." If there is no content-length, and the reply # size exceeds this limit, the client's connection is just closed # and they will receive a partial reply. # # NOTE: downstream caches probably can not detect a partial reply # if there is no content-length header, so they will cache # partial responses and give them out as hits. You should NOT # use this option if you have downstream caches. # # If you set this parameter to zero (the default), there will be # no limit imposed. #reply_body_max_size 0 # TAG: refresh_pattern # usage: refresh_pattern [-i] regex min percent max [options] # # By default, regular expressions are CASE-SENSITIVE. To make # them case-insensitive, use the -i option. # # 'Min' is the time (in minutes) an object without an explicit # expiry time should be considered fresh. The recommended # value is 0, any higher values may cause dynamic applications # to be erroneously cached unless the application designer # has taken the appropriate actions. # # 'Percent' is a percentage of the objects age (time since last # modification age) an object without explicit expiry time # will be considered fresh. # # 'Max' is an upper limit on how long objects without an explicit # expiry time will be considered fresh. # # options: override-expire # override-lastmod # reload-into-ims # ignore-reload # # override-expire enforces min age even if the server # sent a Expires: header. Doing this VIOLATES the HTTP # standard. Enabling this feature could make you liable # for problems which it causes. # # override-lastmod enforces min age even on objects # that was modified recently. # # reload-into-ims changes client no-cache or ``reload'' # to If-Modified-Since requests. Doing this VIOLATES the # HTTP standard. Enabling this feature could make you # liable for problems which it causes. # # ignore-reload ignores a client no-cache or ``reload'' # header. Doing this VIOLATES the HTTP standard. Enabling # this feature could make you liable for problems which # it causes. # # Please see the file doc/Release-Notes-1.1.txt for a full # description of Squid's refresh algorithm.

It achieves a lower byte hit rate than LFUDA though since # it evicts larger (possibly popular) objects. # # The LFUDA policy keeps popular objects in cache regardless of # their size and thus optimizes byte hit rate at the expense of # hit rate since one large, popular object will prevent many # smaller, slightly less popular objects from being cached. # # Both policies utilize a dynamic aging mechanism that prevents # cache pollution that can otherwise occur with frequency-based # replacement policies. # # NOTE: if using the LFUDA replacement policy you should increase # the value of maximum_object_size above its default of 4096 KB to # to maximize the potential byte hit rate improvement of LFUDA. # # For more information about these cache replacement policies see # http://www.hpl.hp.com/techreports/1999/HPL-1999-69.html and # http://fog.hpl.external.hp.com/techreports/98/HPL-98-173.html. # #replacement_policy LFUDA # TAG: reference_age # As a part of normal operation, Squid performs Least Recently # Used removal of cached objects. The LRU age for removal is # computed dynamically, based on the amount of disk space in # use.
