RE: [squid-users] Limiting or controlling HTTP File Down Loads - Delay pools ??

Hi All

Thanks for the reply Henrik.

I have about 15 users sharing a 128Kbps line. All surfing through a Squid
proxy firewall box.

What options are available for per/user bandwidth limiting or equal sharing.
As far as I it is the squid proxy server which generates the traffic across
the WAN
after receiving HTTP page request from a browser.

The only options that I know of is either setting up Advanced Routing on or
on a separate box in front
of the Proxy server's external or outgoing ether interface.

Are there other options?

All Tips Wellcome

Thanks in Advance

Steven

Many possibilities.

* ACL list matching URL patterns to be blocked/denied.
* Delay pools, limiting bandwidth usage per user/network.
* reply_body_max_size, limiting biggest possible downloadable object
size
* Log monitoring, with a manual (or automated where applicable)
reprimand to users "not behaving".

The best differs with the situation.
