TAG NAME delay_parameters

Description Defines the parameters for a delay pool
Built Option
 –enable-delay-pools
Usage
 delay_parameters pool aggregate (In general). For detailed format refer usage syntax bellow
Default
 none
Synopsis
Using this tag, delay parameters for each each delay pool has a number of “buckets” associated with it, as explained in the description of delay_class.

Usage syntax for each class:
class 1
 delay_parameters pool aggregate
class 2
 delay_parameters pool aggregate individual
class 3
 delay_parameters pool aggregate network individual
class 4
 delay_parameters pool aggregate network individual user
class 5
 delay_parameters pool tag
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.


Arguments

pool
 Delay 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 network buckets (class 3).
user
 user on which this condition is applied
tag
 the delay parameters for the tag buckets (class 5).

Example(s)
If delay pool number 1 is a class 2 delay pool is being used to strictly limit each host to 64kbps (plus overheads), with no overall limit, the usage is,
delay_parameters 1 -1/-1 8000/8000

For a class 4 delay pool, each user will be limited to 128 Kbs no matter how many workstations they are logged into:
delay_parameters 4 32000/32000 8000/8000 600/64000 16000/16000
