Synopsis
Class of the delay pool used is defined using this tag. There must be exactly one delay_class line for each delay pool. There are five categories of delay classes.

class 1
 Everything is limited by a single aggregate bucket.
class 2 Everything is limited by a single aggregate bucket as well as an “individual” bucket chosen from bits 25 through 32 of the IP
address.
class 3 Everything is limited by a single aggregate bucket as well as a “network” bucket chosen from bits 17 through 24 of the
IP address and a “individual” bucket chosen from bits 17 through 32 of the IP address.
class 4 Everything in a class 3 delay pool, with an additional limit on a per user basis. This only takes effect if the username is
established in advance – by forcing authentication in your http_access rules.
class 5 Requests are grouped according their tag (see external_acl tag= reply).

If an IP address is a.b.c.d

-> bits 25 through 32 are “d”
-> bits 17 through 24 are “c”
-> bits 17 through 32 are “c * 256 + d”
