cap pppoe user

Fri Dec 02, 2005 9:16 am

Is it possible to cap a pppoe user account's data download/upload using limit-bytes-in & limit-bytes-out?

The ideal scenario would be for the user to transfer say 2GB of data and then have his pppoe account disabled.

Limit bytes In / bytes Out

I've done this before, but the problem is that once the limit is reached the connection disconnects and a reconnect will allow the account to start downloading the same amount as before.

I would like the account to disconnect (which it does) and then have the account disabled or something else useful like a new ip address assigned which you could then route into a black hole with zero bandwidth.

you need to install a billing system to manage such things ...


did you try it with the newest version of MT OS ?

I tried it with 2.8 but I assume the functionality is exactly the same.

A billing system that integrates into mikrotik any ideas?

you should use radius and manage it through a database. try php/MySQL
