About
Apache Traffic Server is an open-source high-performance HTTP caching proxy server that serves cached content at the network edge to reduce origin load and improve response times.
It provides an event-driven core with asynchronous native DNS for high concurrency, and supports custom plugins written in 
C/C++ or 
Lua for modifying headers, inspecting caches, handling Edge Side Includes, and implementing custom caching algorithms.
Squid is an open-source caching proxy server that is most commonly used as a forward proxy to cache outbound internet requests, reduce bandwidth, and improve access times.
It supports proxy hierarchies and mesh caching using the Internet Cache Protocol, DNS caching, negative caching of failed requests, access control lists for traffic filtering, transparent proxying, and full request logging.
