Hello,
I'm trying to improve the Byte Hit Ratio of SquidCache on my network.
There is 220 computers in the LAN, using internet on a general usage
basis. The maximum bandwidth is 4Mbps in/out, the total amount of data
is estimated to be 30 to 60 Gbytes daily.
This is the report from cachemgr:
=>
Average HTTP requests per minute since start: 1023.9
Average ICP messages per minute since start: 0.0
Select loop called: 1208577 times, 5.619 ms avg
Cache information for squid:
Request Hit Ratios: 5min: 37.9%, 60min: 41.1%
Byte Hit Ratios: 5min: 13.2%, 60min: 13.8% (It's quite low, these
values are usual)
Request Memory Hit Ratios: 5min: 2.0%, 60min: 2.6% (I rebooted the
server 3 hours ago, this can explain these low values)
Request Disk Hit Ratios: 5min: 41.3%, 60min: 36.3%
Storage Swap size: 27654312 KB
Storage Mem size: 190364 KB
Mean Object Size: 29.65 KB
Requests given to unlinkd: 33035
Median Service Times (seconds) 5 min 60 min:
HTTP Requests (All): 0.23230 0.46965
Cache Misses: 0.35832 0.72387
Cache Hits: 0.19742 0.35832
Near Hits: 0.20843 0.55240
Not-Modified Replies: 0.03829 0.05331
DNS Lookups: 0.00094 0.00779
ICP Queries: 0.00000 0.00000

Do you see something that need to be improved ? Did I miss something?
