[LARTC] Traffic shaping with transparent proxy

[LARTC] Traffic shaping with transparent proxy

[Sebastian 'spax' Pape]

hi!

Is there any other way than ingress-shaping if I'm running a transparent
proxy on my firewall/router and want to limit http downloads? I think it
is not very clever to shape the outgoing bandwidth, because I don't want
to throttle bandwidth if the pages are allready cached and squid propably
won't care how fast it can deliver when getting the pages from the net. Or
is there any possibility to mark those packets with squid? e.g. different
marks for cached/non-cached content or something like that.

best regards

		Sebastian

I'm not really up to date with delay pools, but as far as I remember they
only shape the traffic of squid among all squid-users and don't know
anything about the available bandwidth. So the problem to allocate
bandwidth to squid (vs. other traffic like, ssh, ftp, smtp, ...) still
remains or am I getting something wrong here?

Hi

If you are using Transparent cache ( Squid)
better you use delay pools, it works greate like large downloads to be
controled

You can try to enable the delay pools in squid.  This allows you to shape 
bandwidth within squid.  And you can shape on the size of the fetched 
objects.  Very handy.  Big downloads are slow, small downloads are very fast.
