Implementation of Hierarchical Token Bucket (HTB) for Fair Bandwidth Allocation in Small Business Network Environments
Keywords:
Hierarchical Token Bucket, Bandwidth Management, MikroTik, QoS, Small Business NetworkAbstract
Internet connectivity is one of the most crucial infrastructures for small business operations. Unbalanced bandwidth allocation often leads to inefficient network performance, especially in shared environments. This study implements the Hierarchical Token Bucket (HTB) method on a MikroTik RB951Ui-2HnD router to manage and distribute bandwidth fairly among users in a small business network. The implementation allows bandwidth to be divided hierarchically by assigning priorities to each client according to business needs. The system was tested using Quality of Service (QoS) parameters throughput, delay, jitter, and packet loss. The results show that HTB improved bandwidth distribution efficiency by up to 35% compared to the Simple Queue method. The research demonstrates that HTB provides an effective and flexible approach to fair bandwidth management in small business network environments.
