Roku video streaming, it does not know if you are watching Optimize bandwidth utilization and associated revenue 2 Benefits of Bandwidth Control • Create different service levels to meet customer requirements • Residential Services • Asymmetric services • Upload speed 25% of download speed • Business Services • Symmetric bandwidth • Usage Based Billing or Unlimited Usage • Where do you set limits? • Is the revenue generated worth the effort? • UBB can be used as a marketing message against you 3 Bandwidth Control Tiers • Residential Services • R3 – 3 Mbps • R6 – 6 Mbps • R9 – 9 Mbps • R12 – 12 Mbps • R18 – 18 Mbps • R25 – 25 Mbps • Contract term - Monthly 4 • Business Services • B25 – 25 Mbps • B50 – 50 Mbps • B100 – 100 Mbps • Contract term – 1 to 3 years Do not leave money on the table Where do you implement Bandwidth Control? • Data Center (NOC) - Ingress Point • Control download bandwidth utilization to customer • Customer Router - Egress Point • Control upload bandwidth utilization from customer • Ingress and Egress Points • Optimum but requires configuration of multiple devices • Not worth the effort as upload traffic is typically 10% of download traffic Implement bandwidth control at Data Center (NOC) 5 Bandwidth Control Implementation Options • Simple Queues • Simplest way to limit data rates for specific IP address and/or subnets • Can be used to build advanced QoS applications • Each rule checks IP header of every packet to check for match • Mangle + Queue Trees • Uses connection marks and packet marks eliminating need to check every packet • Results in lower CPU utilization 6 MikroTik Router Implementation Packet flow diagram in routed environment without IPSEC 7 PHYSICAL IN-INTERFACE PHYSICAL OUT-INTERFACE PREROUTING FORWARD POSTROUTING ROUTING DECISION Bandwidth Control – Simple Queues Packet Flow Chains 8 Bandwidth Control – Simple Queues • Only Target and Max Limits required • Queue Type can limit performance – recommend ethernet-default 9 Bandwidth Control – Simple Queues 10 Simple Queue – Pros and Cons • Pros • Simple to configure • Utilizes multiple cores in multi-core router e.g. CCR1036 • Basic bandwidth control can be enhanced with: • Traffic prioritization • Bursting • Time based limits • Data rate limitation by protocols, ports, … • Cons • Each packet has to be checked against each queue rule to find out if there is a match and an action that has to be applied 11 Bandwidth Control – Mangle + Queue Trees Packet Flow Chains 12 Bandwidth Control – Mangle + Queue Trees 13 • Configuration sequence for each service level • Mark Connection • Mark Packets • Create Queue Trees • Create Queue Types • Create Address Lists How do we handle router interfaces? Data Center (NOC) Configuration • Internet • Two connections • BGP • Router • Could be redundant configuration • Distribution Network • P2P backbone links • OSPF • Wireless AP 14 Internet Distribution Network NOC Router Dual Internet Connections Mangle + Queue Trees Configuration Inbound Connections • Two Internet connections • Need to be able to view as one interface • Create an Interface List “Inbound” /interface list add name=Inbound /interface list member add interface=ether1 list=Inbound add interface=ether2 list=Inbound 15 Mangle + Queue Trees Configuration Outbound Connections • Three distribution connections • Need to be able to view as one interface • Create an Interface List “Outbound” /interface list add name=Outbound /interface list member add interface=ether5 list=Outbound add interface=ether6 list=Outbound add interface=ether7 list=Outbound 16 Mangle + Queue Trees Configuration Mark Connections • Mark connections for specific service • E.g. Service “R12” which has 12 Mbps download, 3 Mbps upload /ip firewall mangle chain=forward action=mark-connection new-connection-mark=Upload-R12 \\ src-address-list=R12 in-interface-list=Outbound connection-state=new \\ passthrough=yes chain=forward action=mark-connection new-connection-mark=Download-R12 \\ dst-address-list=R12 out-interface-list=Outbound connection-state=new \\ passthrough=yes 17 Mangle + Queue Trees Configuration Mark Packets • Mark packets for specific service • E.g. R12 service for which we have marked connections /ip firewall mangle chain=forward action=mark-packet new-packet-mark=Upload-R12 \\ connection-mark=Upload-R12 in-interface-list=Outbound passthrough=yes chain=forward action=mark-packet new-packet-mark=Download-R12 \\ connection-mark=Download-R12 out-interface-list=Outbound passthrough=yes 18 Mangle + Queue Trees Configuration Mark Connection and Packets 19 Mangle + Queue Trees Configuration Queue Trees • Create Queue Trees for specific service • E.g. R12 service for which we have marked connections and packets /queue tree add name=R12-Download packet-mark=Download-R12 parent=global \\ queue=R12-Download add name=R12_Upload packet-mark=Upload-R12 parent=global \\ queue=R12-Upload 20 Mangle + Queue Trees Configuration Queue Types • Create Queue Types for specific service • E.g. R12 service with 12 Mbps download and 3 Mbps upload /queue type add kind=pcq name=R12-Download pcq-classifier=dst-address \\ pcq-dst-address6-mask=64 pcq-rate=12M pcq-src-address6-mask=64 add kind=pcq name=R12-Upload pcq-classifier=src-address \\ pcq-dst-address6-mask=64 pcq-rate=3M pcq-src-address6-mask=64 21 Mangle + Queue Trees Configuration Complete Bandwidth Solution • Repeat the configured rules for each service level offered • Mark connections • Market packets • Queue Trees • Queue Types • Create an Address List for each service level which contains IP addresses of the clients on that service level • Changing a clients service level is achieved by simply assigning their IP address to the required Address List 22 Mangle + Queue Trees – Pros and Cons • Pros • Much lower resource utilization as bandwidth limits are established when connection is initiated • Extensive advanced control available through the use of mangle, queue tree and type parameters • Cons • More complex configuration 2324 www.wisptracon.com www.mikrotik.consulting www.mikrotik.training","libVersion":"0.3.2","langs":""}
