I’m trying to configure limitation as an ISP and cafe operator to only allow not more than 5 simultaneous connections from each of the clients (IP addresses) in the cafe:
The cafe is on on interface Local=192.168.20.0/24 while while AP is connected to interface Wireless=192.168.10.0/24.
Now my problem:- I need to now what I will add to direct to specific IP address so that I can calculate my wireless clients based on the number of systems they are paying for
So it means that if any of my clients were to have a router before the systems there will be no control or all of the systems will be limited to a max 5 TCP simuteanus connections
each IP will be limited to 5 connections, if they have a router, it will mean that they will share those 5 connections (like 1 each, if there are 5 people behind a router).
but five per person is absolute minimum. while the page loads, the browser opens a few connections for each page, not only one. if the limit is 5 per person, it means that many pages will not load correctly, some might not work at all, and everything will be very slow.
