Squid delay pools setup

Squid can do bandwith management and separate speed access based on group.

Below example of setup :

########################################### define networks
acl all src 0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0
acl unlimited src "/etc/squid/unlimited.txt"
acl our_1mbps src "/etc/squid/our_1mbps.txt"
acl our_512kbps src "/etc/squid/our_512kbps.txt"
acl our_256kbps src "/etc/squid/our_256kbps.txt"


######### give access

http_access allow unlimited
http_access allow our_1mbps
http_access allow our_512kbps
http_access allow our_256kbps
http_access deny all


##### define delay pools

delay_pools 4
delay_class 1 2
delay_access 1 allow unlimited
delay_access 1 deny all
delay_parameters 1 -1/-1 -1/-1


delay_class 2 2
delay_access 2 allow our_1mbps
delay_access 2 deny all
delay_parameters 2 -1/-1 131072/131072

delay_class 3 2
delay_access 3 allow our_512kbps
delay_access 3 deny all
delay_parameters 3 -1/-1 65536/65536

delay_class 4 2
delay_access 4 allow our_256kbps
delay_access 4 deny all
delay_parameters 4 -1/-1 32785/32786

With above setup, clients will limited to the above bandwith.
