Implementación de un sistema de administración de usuarios con API y control de ancho de banda basado en políticas queue tree en un hotspot inalámbrico Mikrotik.

Abstract

The API (Application Programming Interface) of the Mikrotik application was carried out in the current work to perform efficient management in the creation of user credentials in a Hotspot. The quality of service policies that best adapted to the needs of the clients in the network was studied to make a comparison of the evaluation parameters obtained, such as bandwidth, latency, jitter, and PING tests; obtaining that, when bandwidth control is applied with quality policies (QoS), the network gains an evident improvement. Subsequently, regarding the efficiency in the creation of user credentials, the result was that, unlike the manual alternative, with the graphical interface through the API the credential creation time is less, thus obtaining a better efficiency in the time than take such action. In addition, it was possible to show that as the number of required credentials increases, the time it takes to develop the creation as well, compared with the API alternative. After the implementation, by using the rb951ui-2hnd RouterBOARD it was possible to verify the application of the quality of service policies in real users. Finally, the internet access times are respected for the subsequent automatic deletion of a user with a connection timed out was evaluated through the pre-configured profile. Checking that each user can access the network for the time for which the resource is requesting with an established bandwidth and ensuring a quality of service through the prioritization of traffic. It is recommended to establish a bandwidth according to the number of users that the network will host since if it is very scarce, it will affect the quality of the experience that users will have.
