There are many terminology problems on this thread, but just for the
record, you can use Squid external ACLs to limit:

1. the rate of incoming HTTP requests
2. the rate of outgoing HTTP requests
3. the acceptance rate of incoming HTTP/TCP connections
4. the establishment rate of outgoing HTTP/TCP connections

In all these cases, Squid would have to act (i.e. block or delay) the
requests or connections exceeding the configured rate _after_ parsing
the offending request[1,2,3 and may be 4] or even response[4]. This
delayed reaction may be enough for your use case of protecting a service
behind Squid, but it is a deadly limitation in many contexts (e.g., DoS
mitigation).

Until support for connection IDs is added to Squid (there is a project
for that), your external ACL would have to rely on TCP/IP addresses to
identify new HTTP/TCP connections (if needed).


Whether Squid is the right tool for the job depends on many factors. One
of the primary factors is whether you need HTTP-level information to
make some of the rate limiting decisions. Another factor is whether you
want to send a user an error response when they exceed the configured
rate. My guess is that cases 1 and 2 are best supported using Squid
while cases 3 and especially 4 may be best implemented using
TCP/IP-level tools such as iptables.
