How to distribute bandwidth in a network?
« on: August 29, 2007, 06:22:49 am »
How to distribute bandwidth in a network? I mean equally distribute the traffic so that when one is a heavy user it won't affect others.

magiging balance parin ba kahit may router?
for example, 2 pcs with 384kbps
pc 1 is nasa divx video website, nagviview ng video.
pc 2 naman nagdodownload sa limewire.

QoS(Quality of Service) is usually how u can distribute the bandwidth using a router, u can specify which pc/terminal should get the highest bandwith when multiple terminals are online, this can also be used to specify which applications that need an internet connection require high bandwidths

ive configured my wireless router to give a laptop then PSP then a desktop in our house priority on bandwidth distribution

Say there are 5 persons using the internet. Almost all of them are playing online games and one is downloading videos from youtube. Those who are playing online games will experience lag because of the heavy usage of the youtube user. By setting QoS, you can fix that problem? I mean giving them equal priorities? I really have no idea on what I just asked but I'll try to read up on that.

Thanks man.

depende to sa router. most routers don't have bandwidth limitations/restrictions settings

.. makikisali narin paano po ba malalaman ang bandwidth connection mo? at paano mo hahatiin sa lahat let say 20 - 30 workstation tapos baka wireless lan pa?

ok ang gamit ko kc ngayon is one of the older Linksys Wifi G 54mbps with 4 port switch kaya on this device ive had time to tinker with as far as giving priority to the amount of bandwidth u can only specify which MAC addresses should have higher or lower priority bandwidth-wise and in which 3 applications u wish to have the high bandwidth priority by specifying the application and its specific port address, nde ko alam sa ibang router kung mas marami ang applications na pwedeng ibandwith priority

QoS lang ang part of any network that i know of that is related to bandwith priority setting, ung ibang mga ka-espiya na bihasa a networking baka alam nila

Is there a Cafe Owner's section here at Pinoy spy?

Anyway I thought putting a fake proxy server and blocking port 80 would solve the heavy youtube and download problem but it also disabled a popular game.

Cafe Owners and LAN admins! Share your stuff!

Thank you.

solution po dyan ka-espiya 1st you need a Switcher syempre yung kasya sa budget, this are available in 6 to 12 ports or more good for computer networking.

pero kung 2 computers lang yung pang 6 ports na lang ang bilhin mo (Standard na yan).

gamit ko kasi d2 sa bahay eh ito lang:

"Modem Router ng Globe na bulok na converted to 1MB connection  laffman::"
"6 ports' Speedo Ethernet Switcher"

hindi man ganun ka-hi class itong switcher na gamit ko pero tiyak speed to the max naman ang Internet sharing connections ko. nakakapag network na ako gamit lang ng isang switcher, mas-manageable ito dahil na-cocontrol ang traffic ng connections between of the connection of two or more computer.

Kung malapit ka dyan sa Manila, SM Mega Mall sa computer area or sa Octagon magatanong ka lang dun meron. just check it out na lang if you want to know the actual infos. wala po akong sinabi na same brand din ang bilhin mo na katulad saken, luma na kasi to. bili ka ng mas-maganda at bago "US Robotics", "D-Link","Link-Sys" yan ang brand names marami pang iba, pinaka maganda at pinaka mahal eh yung sa "Cisco Systems - Switcher 12 ports".

Take note sa mga hindi pa nakakaalam na halos
magkamukha lang ang "Switch" at ang "Hub" kaya
mag-ingat,magtanong at maging mausisa kung bibili nito.

kapag hub lang at hindi switch ang nabili mo eh, sayang lang ang pera mo. ang Hub kasi eh
walang control sa traffic ng Internet connection. although pwede kang mag network gamit ito.
hindi nga lang maganda sa Internet distribution ng connections dahil hindi niya kayang i-manage
yung distribution ng connections.

hope this will help you...

That explains the difference between the hubs with "Uplink" port. Those hubs are Switch right?

I'll try to look in to that. Thanks man.

Yup, use a switch rather than a Hub.  toast::

share lang ako...

what I've learned sa Networking Switch is better than Hub but Router is much better than Switch. Pero there is no need na every workstation ay router ang category nya, for a Cafe it is enough na ang meron kang ISP to modem to router to Switch to PC's or workstation. Kung ang gusto mo naman management or distribution ng bandwitch most Network Admin particularly on Big Companies ang set-up nila ay from ISP to modem to router to Server or Switch. The role of server is to manage the network, dahil gusto mo idistribute ang bandwitch maglagay ka ng Server sa network mo, don pwede mong hatiin sa gusto mo ang bandwidth.
Ito tip ko lang sa inyo kung Network Administrator ka ng inyong Company actually pwede kang magkaroon ng internet sa bahay nyo ng libre by accessing your Companys' network. Ginagawa ko yon... hehehe kung totoosin pwede nga akong magset-up ng Cafe's at libre na internet ko kaya lang dominated pa ako ng values ko. Yong internet access naman sa bahay for the purpose kc minsan may trouble ang network kaya kahit nasa bahay ka lang pwede mong gawin.

Actually Cafe's are only set-up for basic networking.

Ok ba.  ;D

A router is different from a switch.  You only use a router if you want to connect different network segments or to connect different types of networks.
To manage bandwidth on a per-PC basis, say, you want to allocate only 256kbps per station, you can purchase a Linksys RV042 router.
I have been using one for almost 6 months and it's as stable as hell.  :)
Got it for around 7K pesos in HK.  You can ask the local Linksys distributor if they have it.
Just make sure to update the firmware to the latest version -- 1.3.8.2 to avail of the bandwidth control function.

Hope this helps.
