Re: [squid-users] delay pools

Not without coding the function no, but you have the source, so
theoretically it can be made to work more reasonable.

You mean like give bandwidth hoggers all available bandwidth unless
there is other traffic? If so, please note that there is a delay in
establishing delays. delay pools work by letting the TCP window fill up.
Until the window has been filled hey cannot do anything about the rate
the origin servers sends data to Squid, only how fast the client
receives data from Squid.

But sure, there are room for wast improvements, but if you do, be
careful to not cause occilation effects causing some connections to
starve because others have used up all the available pool space. (can
happen in the aggregate pools)
