Abstract :
This paper provides a reference way to realize bandwidth control, a basic and important part of QoS, in WLAN. Using iptables and TC (traffic control) of Linux, AC (Access Control, the boundary node of a mini WLAN) controls all packets pass by. Packets can be dropped, be deferred or be delivered at once. Then, AC can control any user´s bandwidth according to his IP address, MAC address, user name and so on. Besides that, it can set a user´s priority with similar ways and a user with high priority will be served preferentially. At the end of this paper, we will talk about some possible improvement.
