It all depends on the definition of "upload and download sizes" in the
OP question. If the intent is to understand and restrict individual
protocol messages, then you are right. If the intent is just to limit
the aggregate number of TCP bytes transferred, then protocol
understanding (in a "transparent" setup) is not required.

Needless to say, Squid is unlikely to be the best solution for the
latter "dumb traffic limits" problem, but if an "all-in-one executable"
is a critical requirement, one can make modern Squids to limit tunneled
TCP traffic that it does not understand.
