SQUID

[2cute2shy]

Hi ,

Can anyone assist with the following ?

I have a squid proxy server. I want to limit the bandwidth from my LAN to the WAN.

Thanks

I've never done it myself but what you're looking for is called 'delay pools'.

You should have a look at:
- http://www.faqs.org/docs/Linux-HOWTO/Bandwidth-Limiting-HOWTO.html
- http://quark.humbug.org.au/publications/squid/aclsquid.html

Also read up on rate limiting and QoS (if needed).

Smoothwall (and most other firewall distros) also offer QoS preinstalled.

Note that I don't use QoS as I don't need it

Thanks , see my current situation is Http traffic seems to be maxing out my link. Firstly there was no proxy and caching server on site , this I installed and is working well , but after looking at the LAN traffic I notice that Http traffic from the proxy box to the internet is very high , reducing the bandwidth for other services like mail etc. therefore I want to set a limit. any other ideas?

Thanks

A traffic prioritisation box maybe. Like pfSense or a Mikrotik

just remember if you use smoothwall or ipcop you have to have TWO interfaces on the device. Since they obviously never came out of the era where man could use a virtual nic with pppoe over a physical interface.... *RUN*
