Re: [squid-users] Evaluating SQUID performance

Hi Amos,

Sorry if I provided inaccurate information, I just based my answer on the following:

http://wiki.squid-cache.org/SquidFaq/InnerWorkings#Why_is_my_cache.27s_inbound_traffic_equal_to_the_outbound_traffic.3F

Perhaps I just got that wrong!

Best regards,
Firas

On the contrary. That is exactly what "Byte HIT-ratio" means: that in
the last 5 min or 60 min (whichever it appears in) it has *already*
saved that much % of upstream bandwidth.
