Eric,

I was reading the Case Study that Gerald posted yesterday (http://www.novell.com/bordermanager/casestudy.html) and ran across a paragraph that answered a question you had posted a while back.

You asked:
"What efficiencies does a customer obtain from implementing the Border Manager product? ... How much overall throughput utilization efficiency will a typical customer achieve? 10%, 20% or over 50%. My guess is 4%-10% but anything over 20% (IMO) would be a killer product."

The Case Study reports:
"Based on years of caching research and development from the development of NetWare and IntranetWare, Novell designed an Internet object cache that provides both proxy caching and web server acceleration with performance and scalability unmatched by the Harvest and Squid solutions. In fact, the Novell cache can service close to 4000 connections per second and deliver up to 32MB of payload per second, which is up to ten times the capacity of existing Unix and NT solutions. And these results were produced on a uniprocessor Pentium Pro system. So the Squid caches originally used by Novell's corporate web team have now been replaced by Novell's Internet object cache which is included in Novell's BorderManager suite of Internet technologies."
