Hello everyone,
We have a site in a very tiny town in McGrath Alaska that we have to run
on Satellite, the amount of bandwidth we receive is always variable.
It's shared at a 5:1 ratio and uses compression, so we see bandwidth
levels vary based on the other satellite users usage. The problem with
this is we are unable to effectively shape users to allow all users to
get a slice of the overall feed. Our provider modified the shaping for
our network recently and moved us to a more busy circuit which has been
brutal for our customers. The first couple of customers can reach their
service level and then the rest get stuck in the mud. So a couple will
hit 512Kbps (with one session) and then other may see only 8-12Kbps
(bits). This has only started since the shaping was modified by the
provider. We have to find an solution as the service they are receiving
currently is unacceptable. We could lower each users capable service
level but that would only delay the problem from occurring until more
users had peaked the unknown amount of bandwidth available.
I am hoping that it is possible to setup shaping in this situation on a
Mikrotik to help alleviate the problem. I have a bunch of Mikrotik's
deployed but this type of configuration is something I don't have
experience with.
Thanks,
- Dan
