Re: feature question

Joao,

I've never used this the "delay pool" feature, but I think that this is
what you
want; from squid.conf:

# This defines the parameters for a delay pool. Each delay pool has
# a number of "buckets" associated with it, as explained in the
# description of delay_class. For a class 1 delay pool, the
syntax is:

and

# And, if delay pool number 2 is a class 3 delay pool as in the above
# example, and you want to limit it to a total of 256kbps (strict
limit)
# with each 8-bit network permitted 64kbps (strict limit) and each
# individual host permitted 4800bps with a bucket maximum size of 64kb
# to permit a decent web page to be downloaded at a decent speed
# (if the network is not being limited due to overuse) but slow down
# large downloads more significantly:

The pools can be allocated on an individual or class C size network,
which isn't quite the flexibility of the ACLs, but it may suffice.
