Can squid do 'fair bandwidth sharing' ? What i mean is, if there is 1 user online on a 4mg line, that user will be using the entire 4mg line speed, and if there are 2 users online, each user will have 2mg line speed, and so on. I have squid cache set up already, but i just need to know how bandwidth distribution/sharing can be handled Can squid also be used to limit/disconnect users after they have used up their allotted bandwidth? [I have a mikrotik router connected to the adsl (for wireless users)] I would really appreciate your comments and help Thank you
The best way that I can think off is to use radius. Usermanager (free) witch is mikrotik based or Radiusmanager installed on a linux pc After my knowledge squid can only redirect header requests in your pool list and ect but not manipulate a ip address to a certain bandwith speed. Here is something to get you going, it's quite simple Mikrotik Usermanager
