Dear friends,
I have a 512kb ADSL link. I tried to implement delay_pools on my
users but apparently after i apply the configuration, even the general
surfing seems to get significant slow down. I thought the delay_pools
should only affect their downloading speed, but seems like general
surfing gets affected. My configuration is as follow:
delay_pools 2 #setup two delay pools
delay_class 1 2 #delay pool 1 is a class 2
delay_class 2 3 #delay pool 2 is a class 3
delay_parameters 1 64000/64000 16000/32000
delay_parameters 2 64000/64000 50000/50000 45000/45000
delay_access 1 allow all
delay_access 2 allow all
I tried not to provide the entire 512kb link to squid because the link
is also used by our email service. So if not mistaken, i should adjust
the aggreggate allocation from 64000 to something lower?
64000 _BYTES_ in squid remember. Is that 512k BYTES or BITS on the line?
And my problem now is, what configuration is affecting my general
surfing speed....
They both are. Pool #1 is cutting it down to just under 16KBps up + down
per IP. Pool #2 is limiting it to just under 50KB up+down per /24 network.
Email should not be more critical than we browsing. Email delays of
hours are rarely noticed by the users whereas a 15sec delay in page load
gets web a bad rating.
The other issue is, i want some director to be unrestricted from
delay_pools restriction, do i just create a group and set up a delay
class 1 allocating the full ADSL bandwith for them as follow:
delay_class 3 1 #delay pool 2 be a class 1 delay pool
delay_parameters 3 64000/64000
delay_access 3 allow directors_group
delay_access 3 deny all
No should just be able to set
delay_access 1 deny directors_group
delay_access 2 deny directors_group
Hopefully can help me with this, thanks for taking time reading my
question!
regards
Yong
See my reply to J.Peng a day or so ago about delay_pools for more

There are serious security advisories out on all earlier releases.
