 There is a huge amount of traffic that is not HTTP which ISP must deal
 with. Recent releases of Squid have several QoS and logging features
 that can feed additional data to external management systems in real
 time, but overall management is best done outside of Squid.

 Traffic needs to pass through the Squid box. That is the only
 requirement. See the feature documentation for the above and other
 options.
