Traffic Server Proposal
- Travis 17y agoFrom my understanding, this is kind of a squid / load balancer in one? Or is it really just Yahoo's version of squid?
- sstrudeau 17y agoTravis, yeah my impression is similar -- a reverse proxy cache (e.g., Squid or Varnish) plus a light weight layer 7 load balancer (which is how I tend to use nginx)
- matrix 17y agoThe proposal is a bit light on details - does anyone know if this has multilayer switch capabilities? My kingdom for an open source layer 7 switch...
- sp332 17y agoDoes L7 count? http://l7-filter.sourceforge.net/README http://l7-filter.sourceforge.net/README
- es3754 17y agoWonder how this will compare to Nginx speed-wise...
- skorgu 17y agoI'd love to see a comparison with varnish which has extremely similar aims.
- skorgu 17y agoI don't understand why this comment was downvoted?
- pantsd 17y agoI could really go for a sane caching load balancer. My experience with stuff like pound,squid and nginx so far leaves much to be desired (and chaining them isn't exactly desirable either). Why do they have default maximum url lengths less than IE that can only be fixed with a recompile, its madness I tell you :p
- forkqueue 17y agoMight want to try Varnish ( http://varnish.projects.linpro.no/ http://varnish.projects.linpro.no/ ), which has seriously impressed me with both its performance and flexibility. I'm really interested to see how TrafficServer stacks up compared to Varnish.
