Hello, If your squid is on a separate machine (not used for anything else but web caching) and has only one network interface (to users and to internet), you can monitor the outgoing and incoming bandwidth of the the device. The difference between them is the bandwidth saved by squid. I do that by drawing a rrd graph. Similar graph can be made if you have two interfaces (one to users, other to internet -> users outgoing bw minus internet incoming bw), but those must be used only by squid. I hope this helps. > Salut! > > Maybe this is a FAQ: How do I calculate/enumerate the bandwidth savings > as a result of using a caching proxy (Squid in this case)? > > I'd like to come up with a report on the savings that can show how Squid > is making the browsing experience better. > > Thanks in advance. > -- Anton Glinkov network administrator
