hi i installed a squid box with one interfaces this interfaces is connected to mikrotik , which in turn connected to the net now when i check the traffic from the cache server using iptables with -v option it show that the amount of traffic passing through the input chain (which i suppost the traffic coming from the internet)bigger than the amount of traffic that passes through the output chain(which i suppost it's client traffic),why this happened , there is no cache error or warning in the cache.log file and the cache server seems working fine when i take a look at the access.log, as a test i checked the rule for cached objects, when i open a video that cached in the squid box, the video is served normally but the amount of traffic in the input chain increases, why the video is work from the cache in the client side, even i though the increase of traffic in input chain increases so fast (ex 18Mb in about 5 second) i really don't have this bandwidth so the video is served from the cache,please can you help me if the video served from the cache why there is an addition in the input chain , this chain that suppost to serve only stale object from the page thank you with my best regards
