Abstract



The availability of large bandwidth capacity is not always being the key to the instability of Internet access experienced by users. In addition, enormous costs and wide bandwidth capacity which is not handled by proper bandwidth management it also causes unequal access for user. In the MikroTik RouterOS environment, the bandwidth management method Per Connection Queue (PCQ) applied for dynamic user type networks. The router will divide the bandwidth evenly to the user according to bandwidth allocation provided. However, this method is not sufficient enough for networks that need user priorities mapping. The bandwidth management method proposed in this research is to integrate the concept of hierarchy in the Hierarchical Token Bucket (HTB) mechanism to solve user priority problems in the PCQ concept. The proposed PCQ-HTB integration scheme has successfully adopted the HTB concept in user grouping and priority scaling, while PCQ as an algorithm has a function to divide bandwidth for leaf-queues. The proposed method can be alternative bandwidth management for hierarchical network types, but still allows an even distribution of bandwidth in each class classification
