Forbes, just be careful, here. ALL equipment exhibits some sort of
goofiness when it hits its limit. If the processor can not handle the
load, bad things happen. If it runs out of memory, it does goofy
things. Whether it is an MT or Cisco, it will fail at some level of
loading. The
You're leaving Mikrotik, but...
All of my bandwidth management is done at the tower and is performed by
Mikrotik. The non-customer facing routers don't do anything but route,
though will eventually adopt Butch's QoS I'm sure.

I think it feels like you're walking into the wolves' den because
everyone else has such excellent experiences with Mikrotik routing. I
can assure you that it's not the load alone that's making Mikrotik flake
out.
I'm not going to pretend I know your network size or capacity

You want to base your network traffic on a windows based machine??
I wouldn't put the life of my network dependent on a windows box for ANY
REASON... EVER..
Thats just suicide..
Why not just build a more stable x86 mikrotik router??
Our main mikrotik bridge for bandwidth management is a quad
more friendly windows type based unit

Hi,
You need to fix your network, not the hardware/software you are running.

I agree with Travis.
Also the thread is about a bandwidth manager, which just like Travis, you
would do at the edge between you and your upstream. Your APs, backhauls and
other radios can be Ubnt/Canopy/Linksys/etc
I would suggest spending the minimal amount of money for the MT router,

Over 50 and you get latency issues ?

Sounds like you need to have someone come visit the network in person.
There has to be a reasonable explination for what is going on your
network, and i posit that no device you find is going to work right
till that root cause is found.

Again not a true statement, $3000 for a visit by a network
administrator to route us (already got the quote), $600 for a packeteer
on eBay. Then we can route it ourselves because the network won't drop
every day when a piece of crap router drops the ethernet port every time
it sees traffic
Thanks Josh I'll try that

Since I do not have all the information you might be right. What I

dropping interfaces. Not sure how that relates to Ubnt gear since they
are wireless, unless you mean a MT with wireless and not a x86 unit. I
do not equate a wireless
I know of some guys that are using SoftPerfect for small networks. I'm
not sure how it scales or how the interface works. eg. if you can import

If you simply want to limit bandwidth for each customer to their speed,
MasterShapper will work.
