How to ration flatmates bandwidth

An old problem ( that should have been fixed in the 1990s !)...
I'm in a house with other net users.
When one of their computers downloads a file, it hogs all the bandwidth it can, which jams up all the other connections, like any online games become unplayable.
One housemate always has 5 HD movies downloading in parallel, which basically means, for want a just 10-50k of bandwidth per connection, serveral online actvities become unusable for the rest of the house.
Just looking for a router that can ration out bandwidth per user.
Do BT infinity routers do it?

There is a guide from TP Link here.
http://www.tp-link.com/en/article/?id=194
Once you assign an IP address to the MAC address of a device, you can then control the bandwidth allocated to that device, as shown in the guide.
There are some useful help pages here, for BT Broadband customers only, on my personal website.

  • How to know current bandwidth to be able to increase or decrease reserved streaming units ?

    Hi,
    how to know egress bandwidth by Azure Api to be able to increase reserved streaming unit if bandwidth reaches over 80%. Currently it is set to 1, but should be able to increase it when bandwidth is more than 160 mpbs(80% of available bandwidth which is 200mbps) 
    Thanks for your feedback in advance.

    Hi Sandhya,
    For now you can use Azure portal dashboard to check "Streaming Data Out". The chart will give you 30 minute aggregated values.
    Thanks,

  • How to calculate network bandwidth for dataguard 11.2

    Hi all,
    have a customer who needs to setup a new data guard environment in release 11.2.0.2. Primary site will be in Italy, standby site will be in New York.
    He would like to know the network bandwidth between primary and standby site needed to obtain the maximum performance in redo transport with or without compression option.
    I found a lot of threads and docs indicating some formulas but none of them explained how to:
    - calculate network bandwidth on a rac system (having a single instance standby database)
    - calculate network bandwidth in case of use redo transport compression
    - calculate cpu consumption if using redo transport compression
    Could you please give any advice?
    A.M.

    Hi,
    customer made ma a lot of technical question just like the following:
    - which are the main factors determining the 30% overhead indicated in the network bandwidth calculation
    Required bandwidth = ((Redo rate bytes per sec. / 0.7) * 8) / 1,000,000 = bandwidth in Mbps
    - how much bandwidth will I gain if I apply redo transport compression and why redo transport compression and why usually the gzip utility gives me 5X less and oracle compression gives me a maximum of 50-60% of compression even if it uses the same engine of zlib compression as indicated below?
    Data Guard redo transport compression uses the same zlib compression engine at level 1 as gzip -1. To estimate the compression ratio you can achieve using Data Guard redo transport compression, first compress an archived redo log file with gzip:
    $ gzip -1 <archive redo logfile>.arc
    Then use the gzip --list option to explicitly display the compression ratio:
    $ gzip --list <archive redo logfile.arc>.gz
    Note: Use gzip version 1.3.3 or later. Refer to www.gzip.org for the latest information on gzip.
    Could anyone give me any direction?
    Thank you

  • Why can't there be a simple utility that shows me which device connected to my Airport is using how much of the bandwidth in a simple graphical or stats format without requiring me to be a level 10 Black Belt or Chuck Norris' paternal tooth fairy?

    Why can't there be a simple utility that shows me which device connected to my Airport is using how much of the bandwidth in a simple graphical or stats format without requiring me to be a level 10 Black Belt or Chuck Norris' paternal tooth fairy?
    I need to see who is consuming the most bandwidth and limit that user/device. A very simple and dare I say it, legal, moral, and normal wish.

    They are not overloading the Airport. They are overwhelming the capacity of your Internet connection.
    No. It's not "shared equally". That's not how packet switched networks function.
    Most consumer grade routers do not have the ability to restrict bandwidth use on a per machine basis. You need relatively expensive (but readily available) equipment to do that.
    How many people are on the network? It can't be that hard to hunt them down.

  • How to determine the bandwidth of a particular frequency in Labview?

    Hallo,
    After i determined the frequency of a signal, i want to measure the bandwidth of this frequency. how can i do that in labview? is there a block which can calculate it directly?
    thanks in advance..

    If I remember correctly, the BANDWIDTH is defined as the frequency distance between the -3dB points, relative to the peak.
    It's not correct to say "the bandwidth of a frequency", you measure the bandwidth of some process, say an amplifier or a filter.
    If you have a spectrum sweep of this filter, then you just measure the peak amplitude and look on both sides for the places where it crosses the 3dB down amplitudes.  The difference between those frequencies is your bandwidth.
    If it's a narrow bandwidth, you'll have to pay attention to how FFT works or you won't get a good answer from an FFT.  If your FFT frequency resolution is low, your precision will be low as well.
    I don't think there are any canned solutions for you.

  • How do I limit bandwidth on a particular device?

    I want to know how I can manually limit the Kbps for a particular devince in the QOS.
    I DO NOT want to simply set the priority (low/med/high). I want to "physically" limit a device.
    When I select to do it manually (upstream bandwidth) it limits ALL devices and I do not want this.
    I want to limit the bandwidth on only one device that is connected (ie an Xbox)
    I have a Linksys E4200 V2
    Thanks in advance.

    In your case could you please let me know whether your X-Box is connected wired or wireless to the router? Try to set the upstream bandwidth with the desired value and select 'MAC address' under the heading 'category', put the MAC address (depending upon how the x-box is connected to the router) in the space provided keeping priority as high.
    its wired.
    upstream bandwidth affects ALL devices, as I previously stated. its useless to me.
    I agree with Jake_2.0, the router don't have that capability.
    Yes that was already stated.  Please do not duplicate answers.

  • How can I check Bandwidth of the user

    I want to check Bandwidth/Connection speed of the user, by downloading one non-compressible file to his system. And the time taken to do this process will give me the connection speed. Can you tell How is it possible in JSP.
    Regards,
    Ankur

    you could send the user to a test page, have X amount of data in it, then have a Javascript code in it that runs in the body tag's onload handler to redirect to a "test complete" page. This would give you some crude timing information.
    Otherwise an applet or something with flash could be used.

  • How to determine network bandwidth for EP 6.0 implementation

    Hi
         can you please guide me how to determine the network bandwith requirment for SAP EP6.0 implementation for smoother operation
    Thanks & Regards
    Ashutosh

    Hi Ashutosh,
    luckily network bandwidth is mostly not a problem as long as it is not very small, e.g. a modem dial-up 56kbps connection on client side. To make sure that the server side outgoing line is strong enough, you'd need to do some math and calculate from the expected request volume how much bandwidth you'd need. Some guidance might be taken out of the how to paper under this link:
    https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/documents/a1-8-4/how to perform sap enterprise portal load testing.zip.
    Check chapter 2.4 in the pdf file.
    For "smooth operation" you'd need network wise not only worry about bandwidth but also about network latency times and sometimes network quality in regard to % package losses or similar. If your end users are more then 1000 miles away you usualy start seeing response time increases from latency times...
    The impacts of networking on performance are many, but so are the tuning possibilities. If you have a lot of end-users accessing EP over a WAN, perhaps even over the Internet, and if they do so over long distance you might want to make EP landscape WAN tuning a dedicated task in your project.
    In addition the network requirements of Portal are discussed in this paper : http://service.sap.com/~form/sapnet?_SHORTKEY=01100035870000757275&_SCENARIO=01100035870000000112&_OBJECT=011000358700003943521999E , chapter  3.5.2 Enterprise Portal.

  • How to calculate WAN bandwidth?

    Hi Team,
    We have a customer who has the following:
    2 sites
    5000 users distributed on the 2 sites
    How do we calculate the bandwidth of the link between the 2 sites is what we need to calculate?
    Please advise.

    That's not an easy question and will depend on the number of users in each site, how much cross traffic you expect, how much conferencing will be involved.  Your best bet is to spend some time modelling it with the Lync Bandwidth Calculator to get a
    good guess.

  • How to find comm bandwidth used

    We are running forms over the Web, and so there is traffic between our Oracle server and the browser applet. Is there any way to monitor how many bytes are being transmitted back and forth across the link? We would like to determine what our bandwidth requirements will be when we roll out our app.
    TIA,
    -Allan

    Shay,
    Thanks for the suggestion, but [fortunately] we don't do modems, here. The analog here is to put a sniffer on the network connection, and have the network guys tell us what is happening. I just thought there might be an Oracle log of that somewhere.

  • How to limit the bandwidth on another computer

    Hi, I have a wrt54g router and I'm sharing my DSL connection wirelessly with someone's else computer in my basement. When he is on my network my download rate is very slow, like around 10kB/s (my total download bandwidth is 1.5 MB/s)... but when he is not connected, I can download about 70 kB/s. I think it is slow because he is using up a lot of bandwidth so I was wondering if there's is a way to set the router to limit his bandwidth to a certain amount.  I have a Duron 750 processor. Thanks. 

    I think you have the same problem with this thread.. check this .

  • How to even out bandwidth between 2 FMS?

    Hello all. I have two servers, both with FMS, and both with 1Gbps dedicated connections. Sometimes the total traffic goes above 1gbps due to the large amount of viewers, while the second server is underused, so I'd like to know if there's anyway I can even out connections (using one upstream only to a server) so that I have, for instance, 1000 viewers in one server and 1000 viewers in the other, evening out the bandwith used among them. Thank you. I believe this falls into load balancing, although I have not much knowledge in such.

  • How to find total 'bandwidth' used by all WSA's?

    Hello,
    I was asked to find out what the total 'bandwidth' that was being used by our WSA boxes over say a period of 30 days. Does anyone know if there is anyway to find this out either via the WSA or the SMA appliances?
    We have 2 S370's running 7.5.1-201 and an M160 running 7.9.0-107 with centralized reporting.
    From the M160 I browsed through all the different reports but didn't find one that really defined something like 'total bandwidth for all users'.
    I think what they are looking for is box 1 used up xxxx mb and box 2 used up xxxx mb
    System Capacity tells me an Average of Usage and Performance and lists "Bandwidth Out (Bytes Per Second)"
    but I was just hoping there may be a way to find a total for this. Maybe there isn't but just curious..
    Thanks for any info...

    The only way I know of is by using the "monitoring/statisics" page and setup bandwidth management.
