Hi All

I am setting up a network at a customers house. its on a large property so the links between buildings are all ging to be wireless LOS links. all of those devices are going to be Ubiquiti. (Airmax Litebeam) the customer want to be able to allocate bandwidth and data to each of the buildings as they are rented out(basically provide internet for the lessees but a limited amount included in the rent.) each building will have its own litebeam reciever, however i have been unable to find a device that will allow me to allocate those sorts of limits onto the litebeam devices essentially. thus limiting everything that connects to that device

Can anyone tell me if this is even possible and what sort of device i would need to be able to do this

TIA
 
You would do it through Quality of Service. Do you have any real Cisco equipment? Personally let's say the Internet was a 100 Mbps circuit with 5 buildings you want to each get 20 Mbps. You could just shape the traffic to 20 Mbps per building, but I would simply make a 20 Mbps guarantee to all buildings whereby the other buildings cannot use collectively pull the bandwidth below 20Mbps per any QoS queue, but if they are idle there would be 20+ all the way up to the 100 Mbps... where the other queues would have an instant, 20 Mbps on-tap .

Ultimately I would probably split each building into its own subnet, classify the traffic into various classes, then build out a Policy-Map with one queue per building.

Ultimately, you would need to build two (2) of these such policies to cover both directions.
 
The work is always done by the router, not by any access point or something similar. Had a related problem a couple of years ago with a residential. Father was working from home and wanted to have as much bandwith as possible but minimum 50 percent of the bandwith for his computer (equal how many devices are additional online). Because he didn't want to spent much money, I realized that with fli4l on a pentium one pc with two nics (one to the isp's modem, one to the local network) and QoS. Rest is already said by NETwizz.
