Dedicated Bandwidth Manager

RouterOS General
1

Hello forum,

I need assistance on how I can convert Router OS to a dedicated (transparent) bandwidth manager using its powerful Queue package. I’d need setup to shape the tx/rx data rate based on IP address of a customer whose traffice passes (transparently) through the router. I probable would have to configure its two interfaces onto a bridge, etc… (I may be wrong, somebody correct me :wink:)

Any one with ideas, step-by-step direction on how to implement this?

A simple analysis of this diagram shows that there’s nothing difficult in your question.

  1. configure bridge on two interfaces (refer to bridge manual)

/interface bridge port set ether1,ether bridge=bridge1

  1. add simple queues based on dst/src addresses
    (you may use ‘mangle’ feature to do this - refer to Bandwith Management manual)
