The third party metering program would need to be on a device between the WAN and the switches, almost like a firewall device.  It would monitor sending clients and give them limits on download as needed, once limit is hit the firewall blocks that traffic

 

Ive set it up before and it does work, but its not a common solution if honest. 

 

Im Omada like most networks its not about the volume of traffic being downloaded, rather controlling the speed it can download at.  This comes in two flavors

 

Session Limits and Bandwidth Controls

 

 

Session Limits are the number of simultaneous sessions allowed, this can be set per device or network.  Say someone opens a torrent and you have a session limit of 5, once 5 peers start sending that user the torrent it wont allow any more sessions to open.    Its not specifically for torrents, will affect video streams, web browsing, email etc.   Its basically a way of stopping one user taking total control by using hundreds of small connections.

 

Bandwidth Controls are as they state, a throttle on the bandwidth.    Say you have 100mbps down and 50mbps up, you can restrict users to only being able to utilize a max of 70 down and 30 up so as not to exhaust your connection, the extra free bandwidth can be allocated to another user or VLAN.  This can be set as Shared or per Device, eg in a guest setup you could allocate 80mbps and all users fight over it (shared).. or set it as 2mbps and each user gets just 2 regardless (per device).  Shared is generally the easier way to manage it

 

Hopefully that helps?

It limits the total traffic(upload+download), you could set it as MB or GB depend on your needs.

This feature is not something that is common or supported in Access Points, or even controllers for that matter.    What you are referring to is traffic metering.

 

To do something like this you would need to implement a proxy or third party product to handle the users and disconnect / block them as needed.    Something like   PanCafe Pro  or MyCyberCafe  will let you set $$ limits for users.   I have used both of them for cafes and cyber spots before, granted not in a long time!

 

If you give everyone say $10 each time automatically and set the costing to 1cent per mb, they then are disconnected at 1gb..    its something like that you would need to setup

 

This wouldn't be a standard feature for any vendor if honest.

So its called traffic metering, so there's nothing like this in this software. It's need 3rd party, and that; really hard to do. Having 3rd party in apps or software, don't really trust. Can i ask question again, what's the help of traffic limit here in this software?

thank you, I think third party is too difficult for me, session limits and bandwidth control might don't totally gets and I think this might be difficult for me. So i think i'll just stick on download limit and upload limit. But thank you, Thank you for your answer, it help me on knowledge.

If you set portal authentication, you can set traffic limit for one voucher code, portal authentication need the Controller running online all the time, it's a little complicated but can achieve your need.
