[squid-users] Understanding Statistics

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----

Dear List,

I am trying to understand the squid cache statistics...

Cache information for squid:
        Request Hit Ratios: 5min: 98.3%, 60min: 98.1%
        Byte Hit Ratios: 5min: 96.4%, 60min: 95.9%
        Request Memory Hit Ratios: 5min: 4.0%, 60min: 4.4%
        Request Disk Hit Ratios: 5min: 52.0%, 60min: 51.6%

How can I have a 'request hit ratio' of 98% when memory and disk are
both MUCH lower?

Or is this the 'Request Hit' that Squid is reporting here just Squid
caching the 'URL' itself without any content data?

Thanks

Andrew
