Hello guys,

Is there any way to restrict bandwidth using squid.
I know there is delay pool features in squid but its restrict bandwidth ip based not user based.

How to restrict user based bandwidth?

Thanks,

AFAIK, delay pools can be used for specifying restrictions on a per user basis - you simply specify the user or group in question whilst building your rules. See: http://www.squid-cache.org/Doc/FAQ/FAQ-19.html#ss19.8

hi,

but here we can only assign ip based bandwidth restriction not on user based.
where can i give user/Group name?
in delay pool i must give to ip or range of ip but there is no way to give any user or group name.

How are you authenticating your users within squid and are you wanting to have different settings for different users? You should just be able to declare you acl based on your ProxyAuth group, or SalesGroup for example, and use your network range such as 10.32.176.0/255.255.248.0 so that any user within thespecified group on your network has the bandwidth restrictions enforced them.
