Bandwidth management in squid ?

[gardenair]

I am using SQUID 2.6 on cent os. Squid as a proxy server is working fine. I want to manage my bandwidth according to my office usage. Like for top management users may allocate 1 MB and rest of the users as 256 kb.Kindly guide me that how can I do it ?
There is an option of delay pools in squid .Kindly guide me that should I compile squid 1st to do it ?

thanks in advance

Well that depends on whether you compiled squid or installed it using yum/rpm. If you compiled it, then most probably you might not have compiled it with delaypools, in that case you'll have to recompile it. If you installed it using rpm/yum (as most people do) then most probably you already have delaypools feature in squid. Just follow the links provided by
aquiline and setup the delaypools.


btw: if you're new to linux/squid and configuring/maintaining squid/delaypools seems difficult, you can consider the option of using SmoothWall which is a nice distro packed with squid etc and provides a very nice web interface for managing all these things and you can manage your proxy server more easily with lots of options

Good Luck

thanks for your replies. well We have a link of 1MB in our office and I want allow 500Kb/s internet access to my network 10.1.76.1/24 and 10.1.77.1/24 and 500kb/s to my 10.1.78.1/24 10.1.79.1/24 network. All these IP ping each others successfully. I am a bit confuse how to write the script for it.
Bhai i am confuse how to wtrie a code in delay pools .

#INSERT YOUR OWN RULES(S) HERE TO ALLOW ACCESS FROM CLIENTS

acl our_networks src 10.1.76.1/24 10.1.77.1/24 10.1.78.1/24 10.1.79.1/24
http_access allow our_networks

#DELAY POOL PARAMETERS
# -----------------------------------------

acl ipgroup src 10.1.76.1/24-10.1.77.1/24
delay_pools 1
delay_class 1 1
# 512 Kbit/s fill rate, 512 Kbit/s reserve
delay_parameters 1 512/512
delay_access 1 allow ipgroup
delay_access 1 deny all

acl ipgroup_two src 10.1.78.1/24 10.1.79.1/24
delay_pools 1
delay_class 1 1
# 512 Kbit/s fill rate.
delay_parameters 1 512/512
delay_access 1 allow ipgroup_two
delay_access 1 deny all

is all correct ?
Kindly bhai guide me.
thanks in advance

delay_parameters 1 512/512

I am not sure about the rest but at least the above values are incorrect

If want a limit of 512 kbps then you should use

Code: Select all

delay_parameter 1 64000/64000

Its been a long time since i used delay pools So may be there are other mistakes that i missed

wonderful dear . Well as the writer said
Well I have write my acl and my code is
#INSERT YOUR OWN RULES(S) HERE TO ALLOW ACCESS FROM CLIENTS

acl our_bandwidth src 10.1.76.1/24 10.1.77.1/24
acl our_networks src 10.1.76.1/24 10.1.77.1/24 10.1.78.1/24 10.1.79.1/24
http_access allow our_networks

****************Delay Pools**************
delay_pools 1

When in check squid sattus it say

[root@localhost root] # Service squid status
Squid is stop
2011/03/12 15:25:27 aclParseIPData : WARNING Netmask mask away part of the specified IP in 192.168.1.0/24

and when I want to start squid it say

[root@localhost root] # service squid start
usage: /etc/init.d/squid {start|stop|status|reload|restart|condrestart}

Kindly guide me that why this issue is coming? Is there is need to complete my squid then guide me how can I do it ?

In another system I have downed squid 2.6tar and compile it successfully (Just to tell me that I know the compilation process) but squid which is already installed in the system how can I compile it (the source code file ?)

anxiously waiting for reply
