Hi Gregorie,

CBQ and HTB are policy's that are applied to the network interface on
the server, they are independent of Squid. I've used HTB in various
scenarios where I've wanted to control a specific users bandwidth
independent of the proxy software that has been running on the box.
Using the info on lartc.org it is fairly easy to compile a simple
shaping policy. If you want to do more advanced things though you will
need to investigate marking the packets on the firewall and also look at
using Squid to apply QOS markers to the traffic. I recall there was a
discussion on this recently on this list. A a search of the archives
should find this.
