hi , im trying to set quota for users and rate limit . im wondering if squid can support this feature ?
Squid does not do quotas. Squid is an HTTP proxy and HTTP is message-based instead of byte-based which is required for quota measurements.
Squid can rate limit the message delivery speeds and accept/reject new request messages as desired with access controls. That is all.
For byte quotas you are best off using Squid to set TOS or MARK values on the packets leaving it and setup QoS quota controls in the underlying system. This has a LOT of extra benefits, including accuracy.
