Hint: Limit the streaming bw use via squid box

Following the previous post about how we can manage the streaming bandwidth with squid, I've experiment with tools that can help me manage it.

First, what you need is identify the source url of the stream that pass through the squid proxy box. How? use squid access log by tail-ing and grep-ing the source url... or you can use squid stat applications to identify it (I will not discuss how to install and use it here).

From the captured url we can see that it use many parameters to deliver the content, but if you look closely, it always had the same parameter for the id of the content.

Take the id content parameter and shape it with the ACL.

Then... use the acl for the delay_access parameter.

And... voila! the streaming bw is delay_pool-ed
