Hi all,
I've installed Squid 3 on our server (connected to a 100 Mbps connection)
which contains our website and Squid. Now what I hope to do in order to
avoid having the bandwidth sucked by one user, is that limit the bandwidth
usage under Squid so that at any given time a user can download/use a
maximum of 15 MB with the speed 100 Mbps, after which the speed drop
automatically for this specific user to 10 Mbps
I've read that this can be done using delay pools, although after reading
few articles I can't figure out till now which 'class' (i.e. 1 or 2 or 3) to
apply for the delay pool I am going to setup and what will be the best way
to write the delay pool rule in order to apply the above limitation
Close but not quite.
Squid can permit _unlimited_ speed for some initial amount of data, then
cap it lower. If your network is faster than 100MB Squid cannot limit
the initial fetch to 100MB.
So can someone here please help me and show me how I can write the delay
pool(s) necessary to apply the limitations mentioned above?
http://www.squid-cache.org/Doc/config/delay_parameters/
# One pool
delay_pools 1
# first pool of type 2 (individual IPv4 address buckets)
delay_class 1 2
# network aggregate. unlimited.
# individual IPs:
# first 15MB unlimited := 15728640 bytes.
# after which 10Mbps := 1310720 _bytes_ per second.
#
delay_parameters 1 -1/-1 15728640/1310720
# all traffic for everybody gets this restriction.
delay_access 1 allow all
Another question, will the limitation I plan to do here using delay pools
affect the normal bandwidth of our website?
Only if the traffic normally goes through Squid AND your delay_access
rules are written in a way that catches it.
Instead of "allow all" you could do this if you wanted:
delay_access allow !localWebsite
