How to share bandwidth between the sub-networks using SQUID Proxy server?
1. Please do some research before asking a question. E.g. Googling for
bandwidth allocation squid throws up
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-general-1/bandwidth-allocation-in-squid-150537/
as the first hit. Have you seen Squid FAQs for this? If so, please
preface your questions with what research has been done, what you
searched for, where you looked and what you did not find.
2. If you want some help, please ask the question with specifics of
the environment instead of a generic question.
3. You cannot allocate bandwidth specifically but throttle/choke using
delay pools to specific hard limits. Read
http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Bandwidth-Limiting-HOWTO/install.html
4. If you want to allocate bandwidth, a better solution would be to
use tc to use spare bandwidth allocations etc. In your case, if you
are using a proxy, class identification should be used in conjunction
with marking to identify request source subnet as all packet headers
would've proxy server IP as source address. This marking will need to
be done by squid.
