Apparently Wikimedia is doing 100-250Mbit/s per Squid server, according
to this presentation:
http://www.nedworks.org/~mark/presentations/san/Wikimedia%20architecture.pdf

55 Squid servers currently, plus 20 waiting for setup
• ~ 1 000 HTTP requests/s per server, up to 2 500
under stress
• ~ 100 - 250 Mbit/s per server
• ~ 14 000 - 32 000 open connections per server
