i think we don't have to run the test let see the internal diagram of
my network
========Proxy Server========
|| ||
<IPcop Linux firewall> <LAN>
|| ||
=======MS ISA server========
i hope that above diagram would be easy to understand however let me
explain a bit.
1. IPcop is a core layer firewall directly connected to Fiber/Ethernet
provided by the ISP
2. IPcop LAN wire is connected to a switch. and with a switch i am
using two flavors of proxy. 1 is MS ISA 2006 and second one is Squid.
3. my squid box is a proxy only but setup as firewall. for example.
one Ethernet interface is for out side and one for LAN.
4. Finally the third layer is my LAN network. and according to this
diagram my ISA is working fine. however squid is more flexible and
comprehensive then MS ISA but in bandwidth control it is not working
like ISA. (may be my mistake)
when ever i downloaded some thing VIA ISA it gives me accurate result.
for example, when i browse some thing, it actually trims down the
bandwidth of downloading and gave priority to browsing. and give other
users a change to do browsing and downloading and controlling
bandwidth according to the availability and user queries.
now in squid when download starts it actually stops everything except
the single download session.
This result is direct squid box download.
----------------------------------------------------------
it reaches 350K which is a max and fortunately when i download some
thing or brows some thing from client computer things work fine.(
bandwidth of the download trims down and priority given to the
browsing traffic). but when i download some thing from client computer
it stuck to the max download and rest of the users can not even brows.

NOTE : the reason of using two proxy because i am about to shift my
network from ISA to Squid. in short i want to get rid of ISA.
