Thanks Henrik. This solved the confusion. Perhaps this explanation should be added to the squid.conf file to make it clearer. One more doubt - how does squid manage the downloading rate from any web server to the squid; is it just by introducing a delay in the application level while receiving data ?

When the delay pool is empty Squid simply stops reading data from the server until the pool has been refilled by the refill rate. Regards Henrik

[squid-users] doubt regarding delay_access
Hello, In the squid.conf file, it is said that, # TAG: delay_access # This is used to determine which delay pool a request falls into. # The first matched delay pool is always used, i.e., if a request falls # into delay pool number one, no more delay are checked, otherwise the # rest are checked in order of their delay pool number until they have # all been checked. Now, given below is the squid.conf file that I use: --- acl all src 0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0 acl allowed_hosts src 10.6.21.3/255.255.255.255 acl localhost src 127.0.0.1/255.255.255.255 delay_pools 2 delay_class 1 1 delay_class 2 1 delay_parameters 1 -1/-1 -1/-1 delay_parameters 2 8000/8000 8000/8000 delay_access 2 allow allowed_hosts delay_access 1 allow localhost delay_access 1 allow all --- But, when I tested with this configuration, it was found that the machine with IP 10.6.21.3 was able to download at a very high rate, indicating that it is in class 1 delay pool (which contradicts the description for delay_access given above.) When I changed the delay_access lines as shown below, the machine 10.6.21.3 was indeed restricted to rate around 8000 bytes per second. -- delay_access 2 allow allowed_hosts delay_access 2 deny all # new line added to the old config. above. delay_access 1 allow localhost delay_access 1 allow all -- Is this confusion due to my misinterpretation or something to do with the explanation in the squid.conf file ? Please advise. Thanks and Regards, Dinil
