Well
@First Question
There is a very good and small bandwidth monitor call "vnstat". It is used to record that how much bandwidth is transferred from you box. It is not a network sniffer. you can download it from http://humdi.net/vnstat/vnstat-1.4.tar.gz

@IInd question
Well it depends wht you have configured. What I do is simply give so tight configuration first that can be easily distinguish to make sure that it is working then give the required configuration as mostly it is hard to find in normal condition by simple usage

thanks a lot Ricky ...
vnstat is really a nice utility and simple to use.
But I want to know at any particular time, how much bandwidth I am receiving from Internet service provider with Squid Proxy Server.

vnstat shows the total b/w used as a whole.

Can u suggest How to measure bandwidhth any the desired time . It is just to check whether I am receiving the Full bandwidth as committed by the ISP.

Thanks a millions for ur reply....
