Re: [squid-users] squid using more bandwidth!!!

Sukhjit,

I had told you before that, You can check in cachemgr or mrtg byte hit
ratio, this is what you are saving in bandwidth. Respected Henrik, already
have told you some tips to save a little bandwidth quick_abort_max set to 0
and also quick_abrot_min set to 0 KB. But I think it is not the problem. Can
you let us know in which enviornment you are using squid ISP or Software
house. What about request/sec..
onething more if you have single cache then no need to use wccp you can use
simple redirect (route map). no need to put extra load on router and cache
for capsulating and deccaps packets.
Onething more you will have to put an ACL for your IPs. someone can use your
squid minor mistake :) can be..
Keep eyes on access.log and cache.log
