Managing Cache Sections

The proxy cache is separated into one or more cache sections. You can have up to 256 sections. The number of cache sections must be a power of two (for example, 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, ..., 256). The largest capacity is 32 Gbytes (optimum) with 256 cache sections.

If you pick a cache capacity of 500 Mbytes, the installer will create 4 cache sections (500 d6 125 = 4); if you choose a cache capacity of 2GB, the installer creates 16 sections (2000 d6 125 = 16). The optimum value for each section to get the number of sections is 125 Mbytes. More the number of sections larger the number of URLs stored and distributed across.
