Hi All,
I am currently providing professional services for a Service Provider organization.
My manager has asked me to implement the below solution in of our customer's [i.e. a Service Provider] network :
- Any user who is trying to access internet service during off peak hours, should get entire available bandwidth
- Any user who is trying to access internet service during peak hours, they should get their subscribed bandwidth [i.e 10 Mbps] as per their plan with the service provider company
- Both the conditions mentioned above should be customizable according to the content/protocol i.e. HTTP, HTTP Adaptive Streaming Protocol or Real Time Streaming protocol etc. The main objective is "to dynamically control user's internet speed depending on available bandwidth and type of content being accessed"
The main objective of the Service provider is to utilise their network to the maximum with best QOE.
I am trying to test this solution first on GNS3. I think with QOS I will be able to rate limit user traffic based on available bandwidth and specific content. Please find my network below with attached running config of each router:

I am looking for a solution which can encompass all the requirements with existing configuration.
Please note C2 and C3 are my hosts and C1 is internet
