The Delay Pools FAQ explains the different delay pool classes:
http://www.squid-cache.org/Doc/FAQ/FAQ-19.html#ss19.8
i read this and also default squid.conf. but these concepts are really hard to grasp by a newbie. and also there are really unsuffiecient examples
Use a class 1 delay pool instead, which sets a total limit for the pool, which is then shared equally between all connections.
if i configure a class one pool. and two of user start downloading while 3 others are browsing. will all these 5 get the equal bandwidth????

According to the Delay Pools FAQ and the default squid.conf, it is a percentage of how full the delay pool's "bucket" (count of available bytes) is when Squid starts, is reconfigured, or receives its first connection.
This allows users to start surfing immediately after Squid starts, instead of having to wait for the delay pool's bucket to fill. It appears to default to 50%.
Adam
isnt it possible to create different buckets for all the users using class two pool to make them use maximum say 3KB but when the bandwidth is free then they can use more than 3KB.
