I want to configure squid through it's source bcuzz i want to enable such options like delay pools.
i know the configuration script but don't know how to set this up on starup as a service & How to use delay pool feature. I just want to limit traffic @ 5KB per host.


Thanks in advance

Dear imranhussain,
Salam,

You will need :

--enable-delay-pools

during the configure stage of squid. See the file 'INSTALL' as how to compile/install squid. Your mentioned squid is version is >very< old. Advising to use the latest STABLE release. and also check out http://squid.visolve.com/squid24s1/delaypool.htm and http://ezine.daemonnews.org/200209/squid.html

Example Confiuration File:

acl magic_words1 url_regex -i 192.168
acl magic_words2 url_regex -i ftp .exe .mp3 .vqf .tar.gz .gz .rpm .zip .rar .avi .mpeg .mpe .mpg .qt .ram .rm .iso .raw .wav $
delay_access 1 allow magic_words2
delay_access 2 allow magic_words1
delay_pools 2

delay_class 1 2
delay_parameters 1 -1/-1 5000/5000000
delay_access 1 allow magic_words2

delay_class 2 2
delay_parameters 2 -1/-1 -1/-1
delay_access 2 allow magic_words1

these are my current settings...

now, i need add to magic_words2 all extensions of files, how is it done ?

--
delay_class 1 2
delay_parameters 1 -1/-1 5000/5000000
delay_access 1 allow magic_words2
that means that channel is unlimited and files larger taht ~5mb vil go at ~5kb

so.. if i do:

delay_class 1 4
delay_parameters 1 -1/-1 15000/8000000 10000/12000000
8000/15000000 4000/20000000
delay_access 1 allow magic_words2

files larger than
> 8mb ~15kb
> 10mb ~12kb
> 15mb ~8 kb
> 20mb 4kb ?

btw, maybe someone else could share his delay_pools for examples ?

Best Regards.

my server ip is 192.168.100.1
my user ip range is in between 192.168.100.2 to 192.168.100.60
i am using multinet DSL and my circuit is 64kbps uploading and 128kbps downloading.

my question is how to set delay_pool in my squid.conf for fastest interactive browsing on my client pc's as well as some delay option for files download etc. exe.dat.avi.mpeg etc. with different download speed.
