The function of the delay pool is to slow down traffic. This is something you'll have to fine tune to get results you can live with. You can give your users a larger pool, set limits based on file size, file type, time of day and so on. There is no catch-all, each network environment is different and you'll have to configure SQUID for the best performance on your network.

Linux is generally associated with web and database servers, but has become popular in many niche industries and applications.

Software firewalls, also known as host-based firewalls, provide a layer of software on one host that controls network traffic in and out of that single machine. Most operating systems now include firewall software, but many available software firewalls include central distribution, antivirus systems and disaster recovery.

Software Firewalls

The variety of Linux distributions creates myriad issues relating to configuration and operations when computers are networked, not the least of which is the use of various network management applications, some of which are included with specific distributions, while others are standalone applications.
