If you're using Mikrotik, the integrated Torch tool is pretty nice, and can limit traffic by physical interface, or by IP. Valemount StarOS has a similar tool, as do most wireless platforms these days.. Failing that, set up a mirror port on a switch and fire up Wireshark.

Re: [WISPA] MT Q's at Edge
If you're not NATing at the tower MTs you can just do simple queues on your core and don't do them at the tower. They'll catch the same traffic (assuming they're not talk to neighboring customers).

We currently Q each customer at the tower.

Re: [WISPA] MT Q's at Edge
What are you trying to add on that you are missing? Can't you just look at the simple queues at each tower to figure out what a customer is using? Are you trying to aggregate them all to make it easier?

Re: [WISPA] MT Q's at Edge
If you have a blanket que at each tower you can do a torch and see what Ips are using the most bandwidth. Otherwise, a que for each customer gives you a traffic graph on the mikrotik graphs page (if you have that enabled). That's the easy way to do it.

Re: [WISPA] MT Q's at Edge
#2 Trying to aggregate to make easier. I am trying the simple Q route. have about 2300 in the edge router. CPU is around 20 - 25% Not sure if I am creating another issue somewhere else with the # of Qs in one place - Scott Piehn - Original Message - From: Josh Luthman To: WISPA General List Sent: Monday, February 21, 2011 4:32 PM Subject: Re: [WISPA] MT Q's at Edge What are you trying to add on that you are missing?
