Hello squid users,
Last year (11.11.98), Martin Bene wrote about "Delay pools setting",
I think that his mail wasn't answered, and I'd like to know
which squid version will fix this problem ?
I tried to set Delay pools in squid 2.1 RELEASE,
but I had the same problem as Martin Bene.

Subject: Re: DELAY_POOLS: How to setup
I've been trying to get delay pools to work all day; (reason: a single user
soaked up my complete bandwidth for a few hours by starting several
downloads of 76MB files from microsoft simultaneously, often canceling
after about half..)
however the results aren't really usable at the moment;
For testing purposes let's just set a limit of 6K/second for individual
clients:
delay_class1_access deny all
delay_class2_access allow net-dialup
delay_class2_individual_max 6000
delay_class2_individual_restore 6000
Now let's try it out.
1) Start downloading a big file (2MB) from a nearby server -> OK, as
expected the file is transfered at 6K/second.
2) While this transfer is active, try to open a few small web pages, also
on nearby server.
Hoped-for reaction: the available bandwidth of 6k is shared more or less
evenly between the outstanding requests.
Observed reaction: the big download keeps running at 6k/sec and no other
requests get serviced at all until the big one finishes.
This obviously isn't very useful since normal user behaviour is to keep
browsing around while a large upload is in the works; is this a problem
with my configuration or inherent in the delay_class implementation?
Bye, Martin
