Squid with Delay Pools.

nishith · 01-02-2010, 05:59 AM

Hello,

I have configured a normal squid & now,i want to manage internet bandwidth thru. "squid" proxy only.

Squid proxy server ip is :- 192.168.17.30
Client PC ip addres is 192.168.17.25
Total bandwidth avaialable :- 2 Mbps

Now,I want to limit bandwith of 400 kbps for the ip address 192.168.17.25 pc only.

So, is there any method available for bandwidth limiting for a single pc?

Nishith Vyas.

Hi dude! Squid is a good proxy, though you may like another variant of bandwith control. It's called traffic shaping.

You may read about it here:
http://lartc.org/

and more conretely here (by the way, I used this manual to shape the traffic for my users) :
http://luxik.cdi.cz/~devik/qos/htb/m...rg.htm#sharing

And speaking about Squid, it's a good documentation here:
http://www.squid-cache.org/Doc/config/delay_pools/
http://www.squid-cache.org/Versions/v2/2.7/cfgman/ - for v.2.7. Scroll down to the heading ' DELAY POOL PARAMETERS'

PS: I do not use delay_pools, I use shaping. If you need, I may send you my script with shaper rules. Just contact me via PM.

Try this:

Code:

acl limit src 192.168.17.25
delay_pools 1
delay_class 1 2
delay_access 1 allow limit
delay_access 1 deny all
delay_parameters 1 -1/-1 400000/400000
