Analisis Perbandingan Respons Time Squid Proxy Pada Windows Server dan Linux Server[An Analysis Comparative of Response Time Squid Proxy on Windows Server and Linux Server]

In the development of information technology, information is obtained quickly through technology computer network known as the Internet. The use bandwidth for Internet access can be maximized by using a proxy server. One of the proxy server is squid. The use squid as the proxy server need to consider the operating system on the server and have not known its best performance on any operating system yet. For that it is necessary to analyze the performance of squid proxy server on a different operating system, in this case for Linux and Windows. The study was conducted to compare the response time squid proxy server when compared to its use on Windows server and Linux server. To achieve the objectives of the study, conducted testing by implementing squid proxy server on Windows server and Linux server. Then, from the client computer is accessing the Internet from each server using a web browser such as Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer. For simplicity, this study uses a client with 10 times test site access from the server. The results of test performed, we concluded that the response time by using squid proxy server on a Linux server is better than using on the Windows server. This case evidenced from the results of experiment that showing the most changes in response time is from the Linux server.
