Is there a way to make 10 different PPPoE accounts and every user should connect with his unique username and password to MikroTik, but they should have monthly bandwitdth capped (to the internet, through the router).
Example:
PPP account “Dakky” should have monthly limit set to 2 GB
PPP account “George” should have monthly limit set to 512 MB
etc.
Of course bandwidth is upload + download.
I’m guessing that MikroTik has some sort of counters, and that the script could be made to reset the counters every 30. in the month…
I’ve been told that I should do this by configuring a Radius server which should look into the database for every user who connects to router through PPPoE…
On the other hand, that variant seems too complex to do…
And I am a pretty big newbie at configuring router… (friends help me most of the things get done)
Then you have a couple of options… Look at rlm_exec or rlm_perl and create custom processes which checks and validates the bytes used from accounting data, and…
If the user reaches the bytes limit while he’s connected, disconnect him
If the user attempts to authenticate and is over the limit, deny the authentication request…
Relatively simple… If you have problems with the perl stuff, post and we’ll see what to do

RADIUS + DB is only in case it reboots (just in case) so you get precise infromation about users bandwith
if you are sure it wont reboot, then you can simply create script that reads all data needed by you and sends as email afterwards - resets counters for users.
better use RADIUS
