Distributed Cache Guidelines

Deployment size Small farm Medium farm Large farm

Total number of users < 10,000 < 100,000 < 500,000

Recommended cache

size for the Distributed

Cache service

1 GB

(Default 10% RAM)

2.5 GB

(Manual adjustment)

12 GB

(Limit of16GB per server)

Total memory allocation

for the Distributed Cache

service (double the

recommended cache

size above)

2 GB

(Memory size must

match in all servers)

5 GB24 GB

(32GB Max Limit)

Connections Reused / Sec

The number of connections per second that

are reused when the same client connection

makes another request without closing the

connection.

Routed Requests / Sec

The number of routed requests per

second. The instance determines the

application pool and server for which this

counter tracks.

Throttled Requests / Sec The number of throttled requests per second.

Failed Requests / Sec The number of failed requests per second.

Average Processing Time

The time to process the request that is, the

time to evaluate all the rules and determine a

routing target.

Last Ping Latency

The last ping latency (that is, Request

Manager's PING feature) and the instance

determine which application pool and machine

target.

Connection Endpoints CurrentThe total number of endpoints that are

connected for all active connections.

Routed Requests Current

The number of unfinished routed requests. The

instance determines which application pool and
