Way to throttle guest WiFi / Streaming Video

bhlockardd
We have several subnets, one of the subnets is a guest/employee WiFi network.  The sole purpose of this is to provide simple access to the Internet.  The problem is users will get on Netflix or other streaming video sites and eat up all of the bandwidth leaving the other networks starved for bandwidth.  I would like a way for them to still be able to access these services from that network but with a bandwidth cap of 2Mbps or really any traffic coming from that network to be capped at 2Mbps.

    I like to use for myself for that case traffic based traffic selectors.

    Create a traffic selector for the internal interface to the guest network range, and on the wan interface from the guest network. Use the "Amount of data
    sent/received" feature and set "sent/received" to "more than" 400 KByte.

    This allows fast and unthrottled surfing, but slows down any streams/downloads/uploads >400KByte.

    After that create your bandwidth pools on the internal and WAN interface with a throttled limit (100KBit/s or something like that) and choose your before created traffic selectors.

    As this traffic selector works per stream/connection, this works nicely and simple...
