- @@@STARTPACK(squid; Squid Internet Object Cache)
-
- <P>
- Squid offers high performance proxy
- caching for Web clients, It supports FTP,
- Gopher, and HTTP requests. The cache
- software, available only in source, is more
- than an order of magnitude faster than the
- CERN httpd and other popular Internet
- caches, because it never needs to fork (except for FTP), is implemented with
- non-blocking I/O, keeps meta data and hot objects in VM, caches DNS
- lookups. Squid caches can be arranged hierarchically for an improvement in
- response times and a reduction in bandwith usage. Squid runs on all popular
- Unix platforms.
