Dear All,
I have been using squid as a proxy server for quite some time and its working great
recently there arose a need for bandwidth control.
Technical need or policy need?
technical need is a sure sign of problems outside of Squid which
should be fixed first. Policy requirements is also a sign of problems
outside of Squid but fixing the relevant heads ideas is a much harder
problem.
i have acls based on vlans.
so i want to limit bandwidth based on acls.
after googling around I did find and put these in my squid.conf for testing for one acl
acl vlan6 192.168.100.0/24
reply_body_max_size 5000000 allow vlan6
now how would i check if my acl is really working and my bandwidth and download is limited to max 5 mb
It is not. Any one client can request 100 objects, each being 5MB large
== 500MB bandwidth.
The best way to bandwidth limit with Squid is to pass out TOS values for
operating system bandwidth controls to manage the actual limiting. Use
tcp_outgoing_tos directive for that.
The second best is to use Squid Delay Pools. use delay_parameters and
related directives for that.
