[squid-users] How does the delay pools actually work?

I've read the book from www.squid-cache.org and the book "Squid: The
definitve guide" and FAQ of squid. But I can't understand the way how delay
pools does it's jobs.

I think the definition "bucket" have no mean in bandwidth shaping. In those
books, it only is a threshold for squid to start it's bandwidth shaping.

Anyone can tell me the way squid technically does bandwidth control?
