Hi

Were building facebook login to our Hotspot, so need to have facebook.com in the walled garden.

I'd like to limit speed to the facebook.com domains though for users that have not logged in yet,whats the best option to achieve this?

thanks

An easy solution, under Ip/ Hotspot/ Server Profiles/. Set Rate Limit (rx/tx) to whatever speeds you have in mind. This setting will make every unauthenticated user share the bandwidth you define under that setting. Or at least that's what i was led to believe, seems to work in our deployment for our walled garden ip's and hosts.

The more complicated way and I don't know exactly what to do but the idea would be to add a firewall filter to mark packets whether its for facebook, then add a queue and have it throttle the speed for that packet mark.
