[squid-users] Skype and Delay Pools

Hello!

Usually we block skype via squid but for some users we want to allow it.
Now we look for a possibility to limit the bandwith for skype traffic.

We tried it with the following config but it didn't work very good - the
skype connection is very slow and breakes after a few minutes or while a
file transfer:

# pool 1 skypeuser with limit
delay_class 1 1
delay_parameters 1 0/250000
acl skypeuser proxy_auth "/etc/squid/skypeuser"
delay_access 1 allow skypeuser

When the pool is unlimited it works fine:

# pool 1 skypeuser with no limit
delay_class 1 1
delay_parameters 1 -1/-1
acl skypeuser proxy_auth "/etc/squid/skypeuser"
delay_access 1 allow skypeuser

I would really appreciate any idea how to limit skype traffic!

Thank you!
David
