Each port in Squid? Squid is a HTTP proxy.

Squid doesn't deal with SMTP or FTP traffic. And HTTP, HTTPS and
FTP-over-HTTP all go through one single TCP port (by default 3128).

If you want to use traffic shaping for certain TCP ports (which has nothing
to do with Squid) then use the capabilities of your operating system.
Under Linux you could go with "tcng".

Don't. It doesn't make things easier. You still need to understand the
application that you control.
