hi
i am new to linux. i have installed squid but dont know how to implement delay pools. i want users to download any thing but at slow speed.
i have read some configuration on internet but dont know which is what
configurations are
acl accounts src 192.168.0.1-192.168.9.255/255.255.255.0
delay parameters 1 62500/62500 6250/6250

my internet connection is of 2mb shared link and download file at 190 kbps

kindly suggest what should i put in 62500/62500 and 6250/6250 in my scenario so users will not get download more than 6kps constantly.

thanks

Hiya,

Have a look at http://www.visolve.com/squid/squid30...lay_parameters which explains it pretty well, i think.

If I'm reading it correctly, you should have roughly 800/800 to achieve a 6k limit, and how many times you say it depends on whether you want to limit the total, individual hosts, a subnet, or a given user no matter where they're logged in.
I thought at first that the "1" at the beginning was the "class" of pool, but it's not: it's the number of parameters that determines what they mean. All there in the docs, though, and there's an example at http://www.visolve.com/squid/Squid_tutorial.php (about half-way down the page).

hi
the document i am reading says
(2. Class 2 pool allows to set the bandwidth usage to a sustained rate
Using the class 2 pool we can overcome the Limitation of max out in class1. So here we can implement the Bandwidth in aggregate rate.
Configure the class 2 pool:
If we have a Link with bandwidth of -(1.5Mb/s) 1544000 bytes/s of bandwidth.
If we need to limit or set ceiling of 62500 bytes/s (500k/s) as bandwidth for the netusage and 10% of the ceiling for each user.
# vim squid.conf
acl bw_users src 192.168.1.0/24
# The acl defined for the Network
delay_pools 1
# Number of Pool
delay_class 1 2
# Defines the class of pool for the Pool Number 1
delay_parameters 1 62500/62500 6250/6250
# This tells to create a ceiling of 500K (62500) for our bandwidth having (1.5M) with a individual ceiling of #10% of the ceiling (Any given time the users will be restricted to the 10% of the ceiling bandwidth 500k)
delay_access 1 allow bw_users
# This is the access tag which tie to the acl bw_users
# squid service reload


1. want to know how they get 1544000 bytes/s from 1.5 Mb/s (The formula)
2. what is 62500/62500 and 6250/6250 in the scenario
should i write 1 2048000/2048000 800/800
thanks

Hiya,
The figures are in bytes, not bits, and the 64kbps they mention is k-bits, so 8000 (bytes) is 64k-bits. 62500, then should just be 62500. (I'm not very familiar with this aspect of squid - feeling my way through just like you).
Class 2 is correct: the first slash-pair is the total bandwidth, the second one - "individual" is per-machine.
So I think your delay_parameters 1 62500/62500 6250/6250 should be correct.
Hope this helps...

hi
thankyou for the previous reply. i have done the configuration mentioned below

acl accounts src 192.168.0.1-192.168.0.133/255.255.255.0
acl accounts src 192.168.0.135-192.168.0.254/255.255.255.0
acl full src 192.168.0.134/255.255.255.0

http_access allow accounts
http_access allow full
http_access deny all

delay_pools 1
delay_class 1 2
delay_parameters 1 9000000/9000000 25000/25000
delay_access 1 allow accounts
delay_access 1 deny full
delay_access 1 deny all

well why all my ips are getting the speed i mentioned in delay pool, even 192.168.0.134, as i have excluded it in delay pool. what is wrong with the configuration. i want 192.168.0.134 to get maximum speed available, while rest of the network goes with the mentioned speed.
thanks in advance

If could be the netmask: 255.255.255.0 on the end means it ignores the last number, so your 2 accounts acl lines are referring to the entire 192.168.0.X subnet. And then the first matching rule is always applied: you could try removing the /255... and also putting the delay_access 1 deny full as the first of those 3 lines at the end.
