Re: What software do you use to manage your connection speeds? said by treichhart:well how to do you manage the bandwidth with pppoe settings? I use freeradius as my radius server and it is handled through Radius attributes (reply items). When a customer authenticates, the radius server sends back attributes which depending on the equipment allows you to control certain things. I use groups which allows me to define a set of reply attributes for a set group. I then assign a customer to a group.
For example,
Group 'A' (768k/256k speed tier) has the following attributes:
Framed-IP-Netmask := 255.255.255.255
Mikrotik-Rate-Limit := 256000/780000
Session-Timeout := 84800
Group 'B' (6M/512k speed tier) has the following attributes:
Framed-IP-Netmask := 255.255.255.255
Mikrotik-Rate-Limit := 512000/6400000
Session-Timeout := 84800
The attribute Mikrotik-Rate-Limit creates a simple queue in the router for that session that sets the speed as defined(upstream)/(downstream).
to change a customer from a 768k tier to a 6M tier is as simple as changing what group they belong to and having them restart their session (reboot or in my network wait the 24 hour timeout).
Non-pay customer have another group which changes the group of IP addresses they pull from, limits their connection to 12k/12k and sets their session timeout to 30 minutes:
Mikrotik-Rate-Limit := 12000/12000
Framed-IP-Netmask := 255.255.255.255
Framed-Pool := nonpay-pool
Session-Timeout := 1800 |
