Re: How to limit upload bandwidth in squid proxy?

Hi Nicolaas,

I read the article you pointed to, but it isn't applicable. I need to be able to limit upload bandwidth PER USER just like squid does for download bandwidth, per user.

Somebody saw fit to put download bandwidth limiting into squid, so it makes sense to support upload bandwidth limiting as well.

I am already using ncsa_auth to manage squid users. I need a solution that doesn't involve using a second authentication just to limit upload bandwidth per user.

Any ideas?

For example the Linux Advanced Routing & Traffic Control (Chapter 9) (http://www.lartc.org/howto/lartc.qdisc.html) can easily help you acieve what you are wanting.

Subject: How to limit upload bandwidth in squid proxy?

 

Hello all,

I ran into another issue which I could not find any answers for online. In testing the proxies, I found that bandwidth limiting was properly limited for download using delay pools but upload bandwidth was allowed unlimited access. So a single user could potentially use up all the bandwidth with a large, fast upload.

How can I prevent this?

Thanks,

Brandon
