HOW TO USE BANDWIDTH CONTROL
NOTE: This control uses QoS with HTB.
Bandwidth control it's done through Traffic Control menu, via web interface or via
/etc/cbu.conf file. You can limit all traffic via Interface control or you can control
via IP and/or MAC basis. Further more, you can create QoS groups and share
the group rate amoung the members of that group. You can as well, guarantee
minimum rate for group member.
Ex:
CASE 1:
You are going to install this equipment for a Wireless ISP client, which has
maximum 256 kbit download speed and 128 kbit upload. Go to traffic control
menu and enable "Interface traffic control", with the values:
LAN Output rate: 256 -> LAN control downloads
WAN Output rate: 128 -> WAN control uploads
With interface based traffic control, you can control maximum interface speed,
regardless NAT function enabled or not.
CASE 2:
You are going to install this equipment for an inn establishment, which have 3
clients. Each client wants to have their own speed rate.
With this scenario, you can control them via IP or MAC address. To do it so,
enable you desired option ( IP/MAC control ) and put your client's IP/MAC
address. One entry for each client. This way, you will limit desired speed for each
individual client. Further more, you can activate firewall option to block any other
machine not listed.
To use IP/MAC control, you must disable interface traffic control.
