How to share bandwidth?

Sun Aug 26, 2007 4:19 pm

Hi Guys,

I need to know what is the difference between implementing bandwidth limiation using simple queue and hotspot user profile (rate limit tx/rx)?

If I wanted to limit all users with a desired bandwidth should I use simple queue or use the hotspot rate limit? in fact I want to give each user a slice of the bandwidth in order not to allow a user to use the full bandwidth leaving the rest users with low bandwidth or even disconnecting them?


thanks to all in advance

HotSpot 'rate-limit' can set limitation and bursting for the specific HotSpot user, in other words dynamic queue is created for one user.
The same configuration is possbile with static 'queue simple', however HotSpot 'rate-limit' does not provide you with otpion for advanced QoS configurations (it is not designed to), however advanced configurations is possible with static queues.

thanks sergejs, you can set the limitation for a group of users using the hotspot user profile not only for a specific user..

using simple queue, I know you can do it for a given user, can I make it for a group of users?
should I specify subnet address to include all the users?

what QoS options that are limited by using the hotspot? can you give me an example?


I do appreciate your help
