Limit total bandwidth sent by a router

I have a router in a remote location that the ISP limits us so we can only send up to 800MB of data from 6 am to 8 pm after that we can send as much as we want. I have some servers that I always want to be able to get out - is there a way to put a hard cap on the users so that they have 200 MB of data in those hours and if they "spend" it all they are cut off until the unlimited time.
I do not need to shape or police traffic - i need to put a cap on the router so it will not over send the 800MB limit - is this possible?

Routers don't have feature to limit bandwidth by some to some cumulative amount.
What you might be able to do is use embedded scripting, monitor usage from 6 AM to 8 PM, and as it approaches your cumulative limit, add (via the embedded script) a policer to try to avoid hitting your cap. The embedded script could set a policy, as the cap is about to be reached, to drop all further packets. It could also have tiers allowed policed bandwidths, which slow egress rates as cap is approached.

Limit TOTAL bandwidth on Server

Hi all
I have two question:
1) There is a method for limit the TOTAL (not for client) bandwidth in downstream withouth the Server Side Action Script ?
2) If the anwer on the first question is NO (i think NO) can you give me an example of the script for limit the TOTAL bandwidth in Downstream ?
Thanks all.

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 .

Do the sub-interface of ASA firewall has limit of bandwidth

do the sub-interface of ASA firewall has limit of bandwidth? or how does the bandwidth of the physical interface divided among the sub-interface? is there a cisco documentation url link that explains this?

Nakayama-san,
The configuration recommendation to limit the traffic entering the router was intended for legacy (i.e. non-ISR routers). Since you are using a 2811, I would recommend that you test WAAS without these limitations configured.
Thanks,
Zach

RV220W limit inbound bandwidth on VLAN

Hi
Can anyone help? I have set up 3vlans with their own SSIDs on my RV220w. I am on a fibre broadband connection but want to limit the bandwidth on 2 of these to 8mbps.
what is the best way to do this in the router settings? If anyone can point me in the right direction I would be very grateful.
Thank you

You can use a service-policy on the ASA:
http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/security/asa/asa84/configuration/guide/asa_84_cli_config/mpf_service_policy.html
This is only going to limit outbound traffic and while you can limit inbound (from the ISP) the data has already been received and thus used bandwidth. it would though force TCP connections to throttle back, but with enough users all trying to do something, a service-policy policing traffic may not work as well as you expect.

Limit Data Bandwidth on VoIP

We are an US based international call centre.We are using cisco AS5300 as our VoIP gateway. I would like to know if i can use the same AS5300 for internet as well. If yes how can i limit the bandwidth out of the total bandwidth i have for data i.e. internet.Please let me know at the earliest.

Hello,
as an additional info to the previous post: I would recommend to use LLQ for voip traffic.
Not only a certain amount of bandwidth but also low delay are important for voip traffic.
So outbound you could use a policy like this:
ip cef
class-map match-any VoIP
match ip dscp ef cs5
match protocol rtp audio
class-map match-any VoIPsignal
match ip dscp cs3
policy-map VoIPprio
class VoIP
priority percent 10
class VoIPsignal
bandwidth remaining percent 5
class class-default
fair-queue
random-detect
interface Serial0
ip address ...
service-policy output VoIPprio
You would have to adjust the bandwith ratios for your needs and the interface naming to your environment.
The policy will give 10% of the link to voip traffic with lowest possible delay, 5% of the rest for voip signaling, and the rest for the other data present.
Again as already mentioned your ISP controls the interface towards you and you might need his helps to solve potential voip qos issues arising from dropped packets on his side.
Hope this helps! PLease rate all posts.

Is possible to limit sharing bandwidth of peers in Netgroup ?

Hi everyone,
I am creating an audio-video conference tool using flex and FMS 3.5. I am using Netgroupfor publishing audio-video.
Issue is that each peer share its bandwidth. I set Netstream.multicastPushNeighborLimit = 0 but peers still share there bandwidth. Is it possible to limit sharing bandwidth of peers in Netgroup? if yes then How? please reply.
Thank you.

Thanks Michael,
I found one more issue with P2P. There is a delay of 4-5 second in live streaming.
Can u have any solution how to remove this delay?
multicastPushNeighborLimit
multicastWindowDuration
multicastRelayMarginDuration
multicastAvailabilityUpdatePeriod
multicastFetchPeriod
multicastAvailabilitySendToAll
Can these properties help if yes than how can I use these properties to remove delay.
Thank You

How to check SAP utiliztion in total bandwidth

Hi Techies,
Is there any way to find SAP utiliztion on total bandwidth for one particualr user id.
This can help us to analize the network utiliztion and upgradation plan.
*In ST06 we can check the LAN connectivity, but i want to know the utiliztion of bandwidth
Regards,
Nick Loy

Hi,
You can check network response for particular user from ST06 "LAN CHECK BY PING". Select the user/terminal and perform ping.
For LAN Check by Ping, standdard response times are:
- In a local area network (LAN) : <20 milliseconds
- In a "fast" Wide Area Network (WAN) (for example, 256 or 384 KBit/sec): < 50 milliseconds
- In a "slow" wide area network (WAN) (for example, 128 KBit/sec or less): < 250 milliseconds
- Losses of data packets ("Loss") should not occur at all.
If result of your Ping is more than described above, then this indicates problem with network.

Rakesh

How to globally limit the bandwidth of FMS 3.5

Hi all,
Can you give me a hint on how to solve this or confirm me the following ?
Is it possible to limit globally the bandwidth usage of FMS 3.5 ?
I don't want FMS to use all the bandwidth available via our ISP.
I want my coworkers and other servers to be able to continue using Internet while sending/receiving data from/to FMS
I know it is possible to limit various bandwidths per Applications, but it seems there is no easy way - using the xml config files - to globally limit the server bandwidth.Ok I could compute a limit per app, but it is not a long terme solution to modify all the config files each time a new applications is to be installed.
So I think it is not possible to easily limit globally the bandwidth of FMS.
Do you agree with me ?
If not, how did you manage this : do you have an example, some code ?
Thanks for your answers
Fred

Thanks for the try, though I'd hope you aimed at a another solution
I think your proposition is not possible this way, because:
(It is for streaming only )
1) say we have a BW of 100 [Mb/s] available for this FMS.
2) the individual bw needed by the media files (indbw) within an application ranges from 200 [kb/s] to 2000[kb/s] (some files are audio, others medium quality video, some good quality video)
3) the BandwidthCap (in application.xml) is per connection within the application. (to simplify the talk we choose a BandwidthCap = indbw )
4) the MaxConnections (in vhost.xml) is per vhost
The question is "which indbw one chooses to divide the available 100 [Mb/s] BW" : ( MaxConnections = BW divided by BandwidthCap )
Two possibilities:
A) Let's take audio only indbw, that's 200 [kb/s], then FMS can serve 500 connections
B) Let's take good quality vid indbw, that's 20000 [kb/s], then FMS would be limited to 50 connections.
Both ways are not good : in A) we risk jamming the internet link if too many of the connections are in fact streaming video, in B) we can not serve enough people and will likely waste some BW sinc not all clients will stream good quality video.
Does anyone has another hint about " how to globally limiting the bandwidth of Flash Media Server 3.5" ?

I need to limit the range of my wireless router WRT54G - Any ideas are appreciated.

I need to limit the range of my wireless router WRT54G - Any ideas are appreciated. I don't want to put on a password if I can avoid it. Thanks for you advice in advance. Milwaukie

Trying to confine a wireless signal to your home is not a practical solution to security concerns. The distance that a wireless signal will travel is mainly limited by the receiving antena and sensitivity of the receiver. An ordinary wireless receiver can probably pick up your signal for 200 to 1000 feet. A great receiver could probably pick up your signal from a mile or more. The best alternatives are:
a) convert your system to a wired system, or,
b) encrypt your wireless using a good encryption method (WPA or preferably WPA2) and use a strong password.

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...
KJ

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

Total Bandwidth requirement for 720p 30fps video call to mcu 5300 and P2P call

Hi All,
One of customer purchased 5300 MCU VCSC and VCSE from us.
All infra will be setup in their HQ and all endpoints are from internet. All endpoints will register to VCSE.
customer requirements are 5 concurrent encrypted calls to MCU with 720p 30fps and point to point 10 concurrent encrypted calls.
endpoints are cisco c series endpoints and polycom HDX endpoinds.
They haven't subscribe the line yet. we need to propose the minimum bandwidth requirement to customer.
1) what is the minimum bandwidth requirements to achieve 720p 30fps encrypted call to MCU?
2) what is the total bandwidth requirements for 5 concurrent encrypted calls to MCU?
3) what is the total load of bandwidth requirements for 5 concurrent encrypted calls to MCU and point to point 10 concurrent encrypted calls?
Thanks advance for you answer!

point to point 10 concurrent encrypted calls?
Even with a miltisite license installed on the codec to enable the built in bridge on the endpoint, you're only going to be able to connect up to 3 sites max, the endpoint hosting the conference that has the multisite option + 3 others. You'll have to rely on the MCU to host these conferences.

Measuring total bandwidth usage

Does anyone know if there is a way to measure the total amount of data uploaded and downloaded through the Airport Extreme? With the upcoming Comcast limit of 250GBs, I want to try and get an accurate measurement of the bandwidth used by my "local" network which includes my PM G5, a Mac Mini and a MacBook Pro. I found individual apps (like SurplusMeter) that will measure the bandwidth used by each computer. I was just hoping to find a tool that would measure what goes "through" the wireless access point.
Thanks

That looks like a possibility, but when I looked at the cacti site, everything was over my head. I am neither a programmer nor do I know anything about SNMP MIB data.
Something else that occurred to me, however, was that I am only using my Airport as a wireless hub. I have a Vonage [Motorola VT2442] router hooked up and configured as the router for my local network. On the router web page is a 'Network Statistics' page that may have what I want. Is anyone familiar with that router model? I noticed that when I restarted it through the built-in web page, the 'Network Statistics' went back to zero. Can I assume that if I simply add up the "Total Bytes" both transmitted and received for BOTH the interfaces (Ethernet & WAN), divide by 1,000,000, I will end up with the total amount of data in megabytes processed over my Comcast connection? (That is, since the router was rebooted).
Thoughts?

I'm getting totally hopeless setting up my router :(

My dad and I are trying to get a A/V for about a month now without any success at all.
I have already previously sent a post on this forum and Ed have helped me a very, very long way. Thanks to him so much!!
The good thing is we could have a A/V together. Ed lives in Florida and I live in Switzerland.
So I have told my dad to set everything up the same as mine and it didn't work in-between us.
Ed tried to A/V with my dad and it worked fine. He then tried to do a 3 ways A/V and it worked very fine.
But when he quits the session to try to make a bridge between my dad and I, everything gets disconnected on both sides.
So we can both A/V with someone else but not in-between us. It is so wired because we have exactly the same settings, modem and camera.
I have controlled all that today with my dad computer aside mine.
Everything is set exactly the same way on both computers and both routers.
Of course when we try to A/V while on the same router through the same WAN it works.
By that i mean using the same router (either mine or his) through my airport express here at my home...
But as soon as he went back to his home and we tried to A/V it didn't work again. The message error "I" did not respond while I just did is on again.
I just don't understand anymore...I do not know what to do anymore. I'm totally hopeless
If someone understand a clue of our problem please feel free to tell me what to do.
Thank you so very much in advance
Seb

IP passthrough is disable on both side

Sebastien,
You may be well beyond this idea but I know that I had a similar situation. I could av chat with everyone except my wife at home. After configuring all the router stuff, it would still only work sometimes. Then I found out that every time our iMac at home would go to sleep or be turned off, it would be assigned a new IP by our router when it woke up or got turned on. This is especially true if you have other devices on your home network. As was just stated above, the ports you turn on are pointed at a specific IP address and if the address is changing all the time, you are no longer necessarily getting those ports open for the computer you are trying to use. You can check your IP address under system preferences>network. Since our router at home doesn't seem to be able to reserve a specific address for a device, I just don't allow the iMac to sleep anymore. If we do have to turn it off, I just reset everything with only the iMac plugged in and then it gets the right address assignment. Hope it works out for you. I have been successful in chatting with my wife first time every time for almost two weeks now after discovering the "sleep-IP address change" issue.
