"Traffic Server fills the need for a fast, extensible and scalable HTTP 1.1 proxy and cache. We have a production proven piece of software that can deliver HTTP traffic at high rates, and can scale well on modern SMP hardware. We have benchmarked Traffic Server to handle in excess of 35,000 RPS on a single box. Traffic Server has a rich feature set, implementing most of HTTP/1.1 to the RFC specifications."

Yahoo! releases Traffic Server as Open Source software under the Apache Software Foundation incubator project.

OK, we already have the awesome SQUID for that, but it’s very interesting that Yahoo! it’s releasing code (and Traffic Server claims to be very good delivering traffic at high speed rates).

Via Slow Web site? Yahoo open-sources an app for that.
