How to limit a single connection to 128 Kbps?

You can not limit a single HTTP request’s connection speed. You can limit individual hosts to some bandwidth rate. To limit a group of hosts, then you must use a delay pool . For example:

        acl only128kusers src 192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0
        acl all src 0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0
        delay_pools 1
        delay_class 1 3
        delay_access 1 allow only128kusers
        delay_access 1 deny all
        delay_parameters 1 64000/64000 -1/-1 16000/64000

For an explanation of these tags please see the configuration file.

The above gives a solution where a cache is given a total of 512kbits to operate in, and each IP address gets only 128kbits out of that pool.
