This sounds good but if they are all passing thru the same AP then your still going to have problems with people competing for their radios to talk to the AP and if one two or three people are on 24x7 then you have problems. I had this issue several months back I finally told the guy look you cant download 40 gigs of movies in less then a week in a half or I will cut him off to 56k speed. He stopped.

I definitely here you from the business side of things.  I had planned to offer a "hogwidth" plan where you can get the maximum speed for a boosted price.  This may work for you if you get a large enough group.  Let's say 80 bucks per month and they can have the max.  Get 10 clients doing that and you have your T1 Paid for.  Then you can have 2 T1's, one for the hogs to battle it out and the other for normal people.  :) The throttle could help out here.  The get throttled to lets say 256 and if they want more you tell them, $80.00 and they just might either stop or say heck yeah!

Ya�but when you only have a single T-1, you CAN NOT just open it up to everyone.  One abuser could suck your entire network down the crapper.  Even if you limit each user to 256k, there WILL most definitely be a few users who insist on downloading/uploading MOVIES all day long.

 

How can you make money if all you can put on a T-1 is 10 clients!??!?!

 

By putting the �auto-throttleback� feature in play (my words), it stops me from having to charge them when they go over their monthly usage limits (which is what I do now).

This feature would be nice but I am not sure it is a good one.  Direcway does this with their satellite internet and they lose every user after a year because of FAP.  If you exceed a certain usage over a period of time they limit your up and down speeds which is based on how much overage you had.  I got FAPPED and was brought down to  56k from 400kb.  I ditched them when the contract was up and went to cable which was wide open.  I hate cable so I stated my own WISP.

 

So you see it breeds new independent providers :).

Is it too late to throw one more feature in the bandwidth capability arena.

 

Could I put a monthly TOTAL throughput limitation on a client as well.  In other words, I would like to limit some customers to only 1 Gig per month, then either cut them off totally or throttle them back to 56k.

 

Any chance of getting this?

 

Wishful thinking!!

Yes, it is a drop down menu to choose different speed with auto fall back features.

Throttle can be controlled thru the user profiles with MAC authentication.

The service provider can set up different categories based on bandwidth purchased. These users can be grouped by profiles, based on allowed bands of users, width limits.

Throttling can be controlled thru up and down separately.

Remember the radios are not full duplex ;-)

 

Typically 11 meg in reality is about 5.5 megs throughput..

 

SB support what is the set up for bandwidth control is there like a drop down menu to choose different speeds or can you type in your own speed and does it throttle based on mac or IP? Will it also limit down and up separately? or is it one setting does both symmetrically? Will it limit bandwidth to another NON smart bridge product associated to the SB XO AP??

 

Thanks

Am I reading the specs right on the XO's ? Bandwidth limiting to 5 Mb/S. I thought the radios were 11 Mb/S.

Any word on what OS these run? I'm really waiting for an AP that runs

Linux because that would allow so many nice configuration options.

 

Also when you say it's an XML based architecture are you talking about

it being SOAP based, XML-RPC based, or using XML in some other way.

 

Thanks, this new product looks great.
