First, spell out your words. It's "please", not "plz".

Second, what problem are you having? Version/distro of Linux? Squid? You say you've "googled a lot to know this", but the first link that comes up for me is:

http://www.howtoforge.com/squid-dela...dth-management

A very clear how-to, with examples. If you're having problems with a specific thing, let us know.

when i want to brows i have the fallowing error , may you help me.



ERROR
The requested URL could not be retrieved

While trying to retrieve the URL: http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3/stat....i686.rpm.html

The following error was encountered:

* Unable to forward this request at this time.

This request could not be forwarded to the origin server or to any parent caches. The most likely cause for this error is that:

* The cache administrator does not allow this cache to make direct connections to origin servers, and
* All configured parent caches are currently unreachable.

Your cache administrator is root.

And did you try to look up that error?? Some things from the Squid site and others:

Check your open file limits, and your squid configuration, based on some guidelines found in these posts, as well as in the squid documentation.

Thanks For reply TbOne

Now i understand the delay class 1 very well, but still delay class 2 is not clear to me, plz guys describe more in detail of delay class 2

i can understand we can restrict the bandwidth from the begnning in delay class 2, when the user download the file

but what is the meanning of delay parameter for class two

delay_parameter 1 62500/62500 25000/25000

Again, SPELL OUT YOUR WORDS, please.

Did you read the Squid documentation, on their site?
http://www.squid-cache.org/Doc/config/delay_parameters/

There are 3 classes of delay pools - class 1 is a single aggregate bucket, class 2 is an aggregate bucket with an individual bucket for each host in the class C, and class 3 is an aggregate bucket, with a network bucket (for each class B) and an individual bucket for each host. For further explanation and examples, see the default squid.conf file comments.

Thanks , Now its clear to me .
