Open Stack

Thanks Rick for a quick reply.....

Are you asking about the rate at which data might come from the object
server(s) to the proxy and need to be held on the proxy while it is sent-on
to the clients? Yes... the object sever will push faster and therefore
accumulation of data in proxy server will be a lot if client is not able to
catch up. Shouldn't there be a back pressure? from client to proxy server
and then from proxy server to object server?

something like don't cache more than 10M at a time per client.?
