Hello all, I am running Squid Cache: Version 2.6.STABLE21 on CentOS 5.5 and have been using delay pools to limit clients' bandwidth usage. Here is the delay pool section and related ACL of the squid.conf file. I have included the entire squid.conf at the end of the message: acl all src 0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0 delay_pools 1 delay_class 1 1 #1Mbps delay_parameters 1 131072/131072 delay_access 1 allow all I have used the above delay pool configuration countless times previously and I did not have any issue but for some reason there is a client that is able to bypass the delay pool bandwidth restriction and transfter at rates of 5Mbps+. Any help would greatly be appreciated. Thanks in advance!
