This defines the parameters for a delay pool. Each delay pool has a number of "buckets" associated with it, as explained in the description of delay_class. For a class 1 delay pool, the syntax is: delay_parameters pool aggregate For a class 2 delay pool: delay_parameters pool aggregate individual For a class 3 delay pool: delay_parameters pool aggregate network individual The variables here are: pool a pool number - ie, a number between 1 and the number specified in delay_pools as used in delay_class lines. aggregate the "delay parameters" for the aggregate bucket (class 1, 2, 3). individual the "delay parameters" for the individual buckets (class 2, 3). network the "delay parameters" for the network buckets (class 3). A pair of delay parameters is written restore/maximum, where restore is the number of bytes (not bits - modem and network speeds are usually quoted in bits) per second placed into the bucket, and maximum is the maximum number of bytes which can be in the bucket at any time. For example, if delay pool number 1 is a class 2 delay pool as in the above example, and is being used to strictly limit each host to 64kbps (plus overheads), with no overall limit, the line is: delay_parameters 1 -1/-1 8000/8000 Note that the figure -1 is used to represent "unlimited". And, if delay pool number 2 is a class 3 delay pool as in the above example, and you want to limit it to a total of 256kbps (strict limit) with each 8-bit network permitted 64kbps (strict limit) and each individual host permitted 4800bps with a bucket maximum size of 64kb to permit a decent web page to be downloaded at a decent speed (if the network is not being limited due to overuse) but slow down large downloads more significantly: delay_parameters 2 32000/32000 8000/8000 600/8000 There must be one delay_parameters line for each delay pool. |
