Hello to all

i have configured my mikrotik os as ppp (pppoe server)
i m bit confused
How can we know how much usage is done by a user. for e.g

a User name = John

He used net for 5 days. then how can we found or seee how much tx bytes he used within 5 days. or this month?

Bump.....

If you are giving your PPPOE user a fixed IP set up a simple queue with the Target Address set to that of the PPPoE user. This will accumulate the traffic for you.

e.g /queue simple add target-address="172.16.20.23" queue="default/default"

(where 172.16.20.23 is PPPoE Client IP)


Alternatively you can use User Manager (or any other Radius AAA) to authenticate the PPPoE Username and password and it can tell you the usage.

I discovered the hard way (as usual?) that even with pppoe rate limits set for each customer, simple queue's it will override any pppoe limits set and if not set in simple queue's will give users unlimited bandwidth, so for me for each customer I have duplicated the rate setting in both.

Go for RADIUS server and fix both issues.
