I am trying to figure out a way a method which might decrease the speed of internet gradually in my office LAN. At 9am- 6 pm daily it is 55 Kbps, >From 6pm -7 pm daily it is 5 Kbps Finally it becomes 55 kbps again at 7 pm till 9 am he next day I changed squid.conf like this below ----------------------- delay_pools 2 acl day time 18:00:19:00 delay_access 1 allow innove day delay_access 2 allow innove day delay_class 2 2 delay_parameters 2 5000/500000 5000/500000 delay_class 1 2 delay_parameters 1 55000/100000 55000/100000 It seems to work for new transfers made after 6pm. BUT ,when I started downloading a software at 5:50 pm,its initial speed was 50Kbps and it continued to be that even after 6:10 pm when downloading finished(but i had hoped that it should be dropping to lower speed ..below 5k) When i started downloading another file at 6:05 pm it stared at speed of around 4k which was fine. SO DOES this imply,that once a file was being downloaded,it continues to have it's same transfer rate even after the timing of low bandwidth speed become effective. OR it was my observation mistake OR my configuration is wrong. I am using : 1) Squid Cache: Version 2.5.STABLE1 configure options: --host=i386-redhat-linux --build=i386-redhat-linux --target=i386-redhat-linux-gnu --program-prefix= --prefix=/usr --exec-prefix=/usr --bindir=/usr/bin --sbindir=/usr/sbin --sysconfdir=/etc --datadir=/usr/share --includedir=/usr/include --libdir=/usr/lib --libexecdir=/usr/libexec --localstatedir=/var --sharedstatedir=/usr/com --mandir=/usr/share/man --infodir=/usr/share/info --exec_prefix=/usr --bindir=/usr/sbin --libexecdir=/usr/lib/squid --localstatedir=/var --sysconfdir=/etc/squid --enable-poll --enable-snmp --enable-removal-policies=heap,lru --enable-storeio=aufs,coss,diskd,ufs --enable-ssl --with-openssl=/usr/kerberos --enable-delay-pools --enable-linux-netfilter --with-pthreads --enable-basic-auth-helpers=LDAP,NCSA,PAM,SMB,SASL,MSNT --enable-ntlm-auth-helpers=SMB,winbind --enable-external-acl-helpers=ip_user,ldap_group,unix_group,wbinfo_group,winbind_group 2)redhat 9 ___________________________________________________________ Yahoo!
