### Client Quotas
- Monthly data quotas per MAC address
- Usage tracking with iptables counters
- Configurable actions: throttle, block, or notify
- Automatic monthly reset (configurable day)
- Real-time quota usage monitoring
### SQM/CAKE Integration
- Smart Queue Management with CAKE qdisc
- Automatic bandwidth shaping
- NAT-aware configuration
- Link overhead compensation (Ethernet, PPPoE, VLAN)
- Alternative FQ_CoDel and HTB support
### Real-time Monitoring

}
]
}
```
## Traffic Tracking
Bandwidth Manager uses iptables for per-client traffic accounting:
```bash
# Create tracking chain
iptables -N BW_TRACKING
# Add rules for each MAC
iptables -A BW_TRACKING -m mac --mac-source AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:FF
iptables -A BW_TRACKING -m mac --mac-source BB:CC:DD:EE:FF:00
# Insert into FORWARD chain
iptables -I FORWARD -j BW_TRACKING
# View counters
iptables -L BW_TRACKING -n -v -x
```
Usage data is stored in `/tmp/bandwidth_usage.db` in pipe-delimited format:
```
MAC|Timestamp|RX_Bytes|TX_Bytes
```
## QoS Implementation
### CAKE (Recommended)
```bash
tc qdisc add dev br-lan root cake bandwidth 100000kbit
```
Benefits:
- Active Queue Management (AQM)
- Flow-based fair queuing
- NAT-aware
- Low latency
### HTB (Manual Control)
```bash
tc qdisc add dev br-lan root handle 1: htb default 10
tc class add dev br-lan parent 1: classid 1:1 htb rate 100mbit
tc class add dev br-lan parent 1:1 classid 1:10 htb rate 50mbit ceil 100mbit prio 5
```
## Troubleshooting
### QoS Not Working
Check if QoS is active:
```bash
tc qdisc show dev br-lan
```
Check iptables rules:
```bash
iptables -L BW_TRACKING -n -v
```
### Quota Tracking Not Accurate
Reset iptables counters:
```bash
iptables -Z BW_TRACKING
```
Check usage database:
```bash
cat /tmp/bandwidth_usage.db
```
### High CPU Usage
Reduce tracking frequency or use hardware flow offloading if available:
```bash
echo 1 > /sys/class/net/br-lan/offload/tx_offload
```
## Best Practices
1. **Set Realistic Limits**: Configure download/upload speeds to 85-95% of your actual connection speed
2. **Use CAKE**: Prefer CAKE qdisc for best performance and lowest latency
3. **Monitor First**: Use real-time usage view to understand traffic patterns before setting quotas
4. **Regular Resets**: Configure monthly resets on quota day 1 to align with ISP billing
5. **Priority Wisely**: Reserve priority 1-2 for VoIP/gaming, use 5 (normal) for most traffic
## Security Considerations
- MAC addresses can be spoofed - use in conjunction with other security measures
- Quota tracking requires iptables access - secure your router
- Alert emails may contain sensitive information - use encrypted connections
- Traffic shaping rules are visible to network administrator only
