Hi! I am a member of the Student Network Club at our institute. We are facing problems related to slow access speeds, even though the bandwidth is not so less (12 Mbps for students). We decided to set up our own proxy server (since getting authorization to access/modify the institute servers would take quite some time) to monitor utilization. As part of this exercise, we would also like to implement delay pool based bandwidth management. Since it is very likely that big downloads and youtube are eating up the bandwidth, will a mime type based delay pool work in this case? And how exactly do I set it up? For example, if i define two delay pools, one based on based on hostel IPs and the other on mime-types (question: would this be a class 1 delay pool?), and say give limit of 16 kBps / 4 MB for the downloads stream, how will this be enforced? Will this mean that _every_ download less than 4 MB goes un-delayed, and beyond that it fills up at 16 kBps? -- Best regards, Amitava Bhattacharyya PGP Class of 2008, Indian Institute of Management Bangalore J-310, Hostel Blocks, IIM Bangalore Bangalore, Karnataka 560076 INDIA +919986695721
