  Class-05: Bandwidth Control & Traffic Shaping Objectives - Introduction to Bandwidth Management Simple Queues for Traffic Limiting Managing User Bandwidth with Simple Queues Traffic Shaping and Priority Queuing  Creating ISP packages (burst/day-night plans) & Bandwidth Monitoring Concept Overview - Bandwidth Management is the process of controlling network traffic to ensure fair distribution of available bandwidth, prevent congestion, and improve performance for critical services. Traffic Shaping is a bandwidth management technique that delays and regulates packet flow to smooth network traffic, reduce bursts, and meet defined Quality of Service (QoS) policies. How It Works (Theory) Bandwidth management in MikroTik is based on traffic classification, marking, and queue scheduling. Traffic Classification Identify packets by IP, MAC, port, protocol, or Layer7 (application signatures). Example: Recognizing VoIP packets by UDP ports 5060, or identifying YouTube traffic ...
