Abstract

Optimizing communication and bandwidth in network infrastructure is crucial for efficient data transmission, particularly in environments with limited resources. MikroTik, a popular router and network management platform, offers a robust set of tools for bandwidth optimization. This paper explores various techniques for optimizing communication and bandwidth using MikroTik devices. Key strategies discussed include Quality of Service (QoS) configuration for prioritizing critical traffic, the use of traffic shaping and limiting to manage bandwidth allocation, and implementing firewall rules to reduce unwanted traffic. Additionally, bandwidth monitoring and reporting tools such as Simple Queues, Queue Trees, and NetFlow are examined for their roles in network traffic analysis and optimization. Advanced topics such as load balancing using PCC (Per Connection Classifier), MPLS (Multiprotocol Label Switching), and dynamic routing protocols (OSPF and BGP) are also addressed. The paper highlights how these techniques contribute to reduced latency, enhanced network performance, and improved resource allocation, making MikroTik a versatile solution for both small and large-scale networks.
