Hello,
In the squid.conf file, it is said that,
# TAG: delay_access # This is used to determine which delay pool a request falls into. # The first matched delay pool is always used, i.e., if a request falls # into delay pool number one, no more delay are checked, otherwise the # rest are checked in order of their delay pool number until they have # all been checked.
Now, given below is the squid.conf file that I use: ---------------------------------------------------
acl all src 0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0 acl allowed_hosts src 10.6.21.3/255.255.255.255 acl localhost src 127.0.0.1/255.255.255.255
delay_pools 2
delay_class 1 1 delay_class 2 1
delay_parameters 1 -1/-1 -1/-1 delay_parameters 2 8000/8000 8000/8000
delay_access 2 allow allowed_hosts delay_access 1 allow localhost delay_access 1 allow all
---------------------------------------------------
But, when I tested with this configuration, it was found that the machine with IP 10.6.21.3 was able to download at a very high rate, indicating that it is in class 1 delay pool (which contradicts the description for delay_access given above.)
When I changed the delay_access lines as shown below, the machine 10.6.21.3 was indeed restricted to rate around 8000 bytes per second.
-- delay_access 2 allow allowed_hosts delay_access 2 deny all # new line added to the old config. above. delay_access 1 allow localhost delay_access 1 allow all --
Is this confusion due to my misinterpretation or something to do with the explanation in the squid.conf file ?
Please advise.
Thanks and Regards, Dinil
