That's the way it works. SM controls the uplink, AP controls the
downlink. The same thing happens in reverse with streaming. Torching a
customer might show he's pulling 15-18Mbps download when in fact the AP
is limiting his downlink to 12Mbps per the configured QoS and discarding
the extra garbage. Because you're looking at what's happening downstream
of where the throttling is taking place. That's what I see all the time
with the streaming crap. And we use only the built-in QoS on Canopy.
So in your situation, yes, if you set the customer's SM QoS to throttle
at 2Mbps sustained uplink, then you will see only 2Mbps exiting the AP's
ethernet interface for that customer. At least you keep that extra crap
off of the air. And it's not cosmetic, that's real traffic over the air.
Which seems totally stupid when that's not how TCP was intended to work.
Sure, everyone just go ahead and mangle the protocols however you want.
It's like the DDoS bullshit. I'm fucking tired of it. Sorry for my
rant.. I'll go back to my hole now.

In this case the SM QoS is set to 5M up, 15M down. The SM is letting
5M through, then the tower router is chopping it down to 2M which is
the plan he is on. I may have to set the SM limit lower. I don�t
like to do that because the router rate limit is set automatically via
PPPoE from the RADIUS database, whereas the SM limits are set manually.

Where is your bandwidth control? SM or MikroTik? I'm guessing upstream
router. If you had it on the SM, you wouldn't see the overload.
