Hi Guys,
I would like to offer my time in working on this feature - I have not
done any squid dev, but since I would like to see this feature in Squid,
I thought I would take it on.
I have briefly contacted Amos off list and we agreed that there is no
"set in stone" way of doing this. I would like to propose that we then
start throwing around some ideas and let's see if we can get this into
squid :)
Some ideas that Amos quickly said :
- "Based" on delay pools
- Use of external helpers to track traffic
The way I see this happening is that a Quota is like a pool that empties
based on 2 classes - bytes and requests. Requests will be for things
like the number of requests, i.e. a person is only allowed to download 5
exe's per day or 5 requests of >1meg or something like that (it just
popped into my head :) )
Bytes is a pretty straight forward one, the user is only allowed x
amount of bytes per y amount of time.
Anyways - let the ideas fly :)
Cheers,
Pieter
