Proxy is Working but cache Hit rate is very low !?

RouterOS General

Hello,

My Web Proxy setting is as below :

[Admin@MikroTik] > ip proxy print
enabled: yes
src-address: 0.0.0.0
port: 8080
parent-proxy: 0.0.0.0
parent-proxy-port: 0
cache-drive: system
cache-administrator: “”
max-cache-size: 4000000KiB
cache-on-disk: yes
max-client-connections: 5000
max-server-connections: 5000
max-fresh-time: 3d
serialize-connections: no
always-from-cache: no
cache-hit-dscp: 4

Currently about 3Mb traffic is on proxy , but after 4 hours I have just 184 hit from 130,000 request , what shoud be the problem?


Regards
Farid

Don’t use cache; it’s buggy in v.3.xx

farid,
Put the
serialize-connections: yes
always-from-cache: yes

and have you mark your proxy cache and put a simple queue for the cache?

Depending on your customer base, the hit rate will be different. More customers you have the better hit rate. I have not had issues with v3 web-proxy so far. One customer of mine has over 500 clients behind it. He has been averaging around 23-27% hit rate, but we go by total transfer vs sent from cache, not the hits/requests. Cause one request can be a big hit, such as a windows download or something. So the bandwidth saved is really the percentage you want to have.
