There is multiple ways of doing this.
The way I prefer is by doing "black box" measurements, comparing the
amount of traffic received by Squid to the amount of traffic sent to the
clients. You can get these values either by querying Squid (via SNMP) or
from the ethernet interface statistics in your OS if the server is dual
homed.
Most of not all of the Squid log file statistics programs also give you
summaries having this information.
