Question

:

When do I use Per-User Bandwidth Control by IP, MAC, or IP segment?


Answer: In general, IP address control limits the devices on the end node (i.e. PC and

WISP router). MAC address control can limit the traffic of a AP/CPE in
wireless client mmode.

‰ IP address: When you want to limit the bandwidth of a single notebook

computer, PC, or WISP router.

‰ MAC address: When you want to limit the bandwidth of a remote

AP/CPE in Client mode. For example, another WHA-5500CPE in client
mode

‰

IP Segment:: When you want to limit the bandwidth of an entire IP range.
For example, all the PCs using the DHCP server to get IP addresses
