Hello List!
We have a simple scenario with a transparent squid proxy and two delay
pools, one unlimited and one limited. When a user in the limited delay
pool uploads a large file (say via Gmail) his Individual-Current pool
becomes a large negative number, and so does the Aggregate-Current
pool. This behaviour is highly offensive, since browsing "freezes" for
all users, until the delay pool Aggregate becomes positive again.
I agree, it may be highly offensive to clients. Why are you doing it?
Personally I'd configure squid with only individual pools. And limit
each user IP separately.
ie:
delay_parameters 2 -1/-1 32000/64000
Squid Conf -
delay_pools 2
delay_class 1 2
delay_parameters 1 -1/-1 -1/-1
acl bpool-1 src "/etc/squid/bpools/bpool-1"
delay_access 1 allow bpool-1
delay_access 1 deny all
delay_class 2 2
delay_parameters 2 64000/256000 32000/64000
Why not add here:
delay_access 2 deny bpool-1
> delay_access 2 allow all
... which means you can get rid of the unlimited pool above.
bpool-1 people will be left without a pool at all, and get through
without speed limits.
Please let me know what information I can provide to figure this out.
It's pretty easy to reproduce for us. We are also ready to test any
patch (we use Ubuntu Hardy, Squid Cache: Version 3.0.STABLE7-1 - the
latest available in Hardy).
Thanks,
Prasanna.
That said, there does seem to be a problem. Delay pools should not go
negative at any point. Is it only happening on POST?
