Re: Max number of caches supported by one router

One has to be careful to make sure the whole system is balanced.
A modern cache can service in the order of 100Mbps traffic, so you do not
want to hang too many of these off a single router.

But I also have a question to WCCP gurus. What is the time
granularity for detection of cache failures? (How frequent can
the health checks be, and how many retries are done before
the cache is considered dead)? I realize these are probably
configurable parameters, but I would like to learn the default
values, the value range, and the issues to consider when choosing
the setting.

Thanks much,
Misha
