RE: [squid-users] Is "cbq.init" must?

CBQ is a taste of a traffic control thing built into the linux kernel.
CBQ, HTB and others are traffic control disciplines you can use to
"shape" the traffic on your linux box, regardless of the
protocol/application. In other words, with tc (the traffic control
program) or shapecfg (wich is probably the one you are seeing) you can
manipulate traffic into several queues, depending upon parameters that
suits your scenario.

Squid on the other hand, can only shape the http trafic by using delay
pools.

Hope this helps you.

Asunto: [squid-users] Is "cbq.init" must?

Hi,
I am refering "Bandwidth Limiting HOWTO" from
linux.org Documentation. It says certain things can
not be done with squid.conf and therefore cbq.init
should be used, which needs compilation of kernel,
which i want to avoid.
Is there anything which can not be done by only squid,
for which cbq.init has to be used?
Thanks
