700 Mbit/s connection and squids

[john colson]

Hi,
    We would like to use LVS in a system where 700Mbit/s traffic is flowing
through it. Concurrent connection number is about 420.000   . Our main
purpose for using LVS is to direct 80. port requests into number of squid
servers (~80 servers)
I have read performance documents and I just wonder I can handle this much
of traffic with a 2x3.2 Xeon  and 4GB of RAM of hardware or not . We are
currenly using a so-called harware load balancer but its performance is not
satisfying.  Our traffic is increasing and it can be 1Gbit/s very soon. If
you give me any directions about the hardware and tuning parameters for this
much of traffic, I will be so glad.


Thanks in advance for your help.
