Either. Priority of all sessions is equal, with randomization to
prevent starvation. The bandwidth level can be controlled by
class 1, class 2 or class 3, however each traffic flow is only
considered in one delay pool (in a class 3, it's actually three
"pools", but each from the one configuration line).

Limiting in that way is throwing away traffic - squid delay pools
attempt to slow down the TCP connection rather than discarding traffic.
Probably not much real difference though :)

But no, as above, there's no connection prioritization support.
