http://www.squid-cache.org/Doc/config/delay_class/
and
http://www.squid-cache.org/Doc/config/delay_parameters/

To throttle only users by IP you want class type 2, with the "aggregate"
part set to -1/-1 (not limited by group) and the individual part set to
the KBps.

NOTE: its whole Bytes per second, so multiply your 512 or 128 by 1024
for the K and then divide by 8 to get the pool speed parameter.

128Kbps --> delay_parameters <pool> ... -1/-1 16384/16384

Then use "delay_access <pool> ..." to throttle all users who match the
ACL list with a particular pool.
