You can use the squid "delay_pools" feature for controlling the HTTP
traffic which flows through the proxy.
See http://www.squid-cache.org/Doc/FAQ/FAQ-19.html#ss19.8

For overall traffic management, i use the Linux tool "tc".
See http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/Adv-Routing-HOWTO-8.html.

TC Works great!
