One of the ways to avoid network traffic ‘jams’ is usage of traffic shaping in large networks. Traffic shaping and bandwidth allocation is implemented in the MikroTik RouterOS as queuing mechanism. Thus, the network administrator is able to allocate a definite portion of the total bandwidth and grant it to a particular network segment or interface. Also the bandwidth of particular nodes can be limited by using this mechanism.Further on, several examples of using bandwidth management are given arranged according to complexity: Example of Emulating a 128k/64k LineExample of Emulating a 128k/64k LineAssume we want to emulate a 128k download and 64k upload line connecting IP network 192.168.0.0/24. The network is served through the Local interface of customer's router. The basic network setup...
