Hello all,
One more thing on the dynamic delay pool thing: I've tried the patch
from the mail archive but it doesn't seem to be working ;( Not even
with class 3 delay pools!
You can find the threads about that patch in the mail archive at
http://www.squid-cache.org/mail-archive/squid-users/200510/0280.html ,
and
http://www.squid-cache.org/mail-archive/squid-users/200510/0320.html
The build went just fine after patching those files (though I'm using
Squid2.5Stable12). Then I made a simple test with two hosts, each
mapped to a class 3 delay pool. Here are the relevant lines:
#the alcs:
acl pc_01 src 192.168.90.100/255.255.255.255
acl pc_02 src 192.168.90.101/255.255.255.255
http_access allow pc_01
http_access allow pc_02
http_access deny all
#the delay pools:
delay_pools 2
delay_class 1 3
delay_class 2 3
delay_parameters 1 64000/64000 64000/64000 64000/64000
delay_parameters 2 2000/2000 2000/2000 2000/2000
delay_access 1 allow pc_01
delay_access 1 deny all
delay_access 2 allow pc_02
delay_access 2 deny all
(The delay parameters for host, network, and aggregate buckets are
equal for a pool since the test included only one host for each pool)
Then I started 2 downloads from the same web server, one download in
each client (pc_01, pc_02). The rates adjusted just fine, exactly as
in the configs, but when I stopped the download on pc_01 (the faster
download) the download rate on the other pc remained unchanged
(approx. 2KB/s). Shouldn't it adapt and "borrow" some tokens from the
unused buckets in the other pool? Isn't this the feature that dynamic
delay pools provide?
Could it be a problem that the two delay pools (class 3) are having
clients from the same subnet? I imagine it shouldn't matter to Squid
since each delay pool can (and should) manage its own clients
independently.
I've also made a test with class 1 delay pools and it behaved the
same.
If anyone has had any success with dynamic delay pools and the above
mentioned patch in particular, or any experience at all, please let me
know. Maybe I'm doing something wrong.. maybe I'm using the wrong
patch for this version of Squid (Squid2.5Stable12), any help is most
welcome!
I'm looking forward to your replies
All the best,
Rudi
