PPPoE, IP Pools & Bandwidth Queues

PPPoE subscriber provisioning, dynamic/static IP allocation, and bandwidth rate shaping.

PPPoE, IP Pools & Bandwidth Queues

IMPLEMENTED

Bandwidth management guarantees subscriber speed tiers and prevents network saturation.

1. PPPoE Profiles & Rate Limiting

MikroTik RouterOS applies bandwidth shaping via:

  1. PPPoE Profile rate-limit parameter:
    • Syntax: <rx-rate>/<tx-rate> [burst-rx/burst-tx [threshold-rx/threshold-tx [burst-time-rx/burst-time-tx]]]
    • Example for 20 Mbps symmetric: 20M/20M.
  2. Simple Queues:
    • Created dynamically when PPPoE session authenticates.
    • Assigned to the interface <pppoe-username>.

2. IP Pool Allocation

  • Dynamic IP Pool: Configured on the MikroTik router (e.g. 10.100.0.0/16). RouterOS allocates the next available IP address from the pool upon successful PPPoE authentication.
  • Static Public IP: If a customer requests a static real IP, the ERP sets remote-address=<static-ip> on the PPPoE secret.

MikroTik RouterOS v7 Integration

RouterOS REST and API protocol integration, connection pooling, credential encryption, and commands.

OLT Chassis & Optical Diagnostics

Optical line terminal management, PON port monitoring, optical power (RX/TX dBm), and ONU reboots.
