aggregate bucket
   - ALL traffic has to be within the parameters.

network bucket (/24, /16, /network-size)
   - traffic per /n network as a whole network.
     squid may handle more than one /n network at once.

individual bucket
   - each IP address must have its traffic matching these settings.

  - No individual IP can get more than 600bytes/sec. Slow clients are
given a bit of leeway to grab up to 8000byte chunks to compensate for up
to 13sec network delays.

  - No network of class </24? /16? missing data> may use more than
8000bytes/sec.
    ie 12 IP can connect at full rate, any more start cut others speeds
down.

  - Absolute max cap is set at 32000bytes/sec.
     ie 48 IP total can connect at full individual rate, before slowing.
     ie 4 network blocks may reach full rate before affecting each
others speed.
