Reasons for that are that each user is guaranteed a 16Kbps of bandwidth for each 128KpbsI sell. Now if I use a proxy server, the server will go and do the request as the proxy server and not as the client which means my proxy server uses bandwidth and the user is not penalized for it.
>>> Hai, For this use the Delay pools to manage the clients bandwidh. Enable the delaypool option on the squid configuration and using the ACL to the individual setting by specifying the minimum and ceiling bandwidth that needs to be allocated for individual and the total bandwidth to all the users as governed . http://www.squid-cache.org/Doc/FAQ/FAQ-19.html#ss19.8 check this for Delay pools. http://www.pcquest.com/content/linux/103080904.asp -- Bandwidh management on Squid Regards, Muthukumar.
