How Internet providers give a monthly data packages? - 857 - 05-08-2014 01:34 AM
i mean if my ISP told "i have monthly volume data is 100 GB and after my Internet stop' i want to know 'in technically how they give 100 GB' or how they control bandwidth

Might need a unlimited package.

they use a particular software to manage the 100GB quota and for bandwidth and speed they set it on a switch port by using a manageable switch

They measure what they send you when you go over they throttle............what else is there to explain it's not magic.
Just be lucky you have 100 gig i only get 10

Here is how it works,
Every time you try to go to a web page or download a file, your Internet browser requests that content from a remote web server be delivered to your device via HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, etc.
All of the web content including the source code, formatting (CSS), graphics, flash content, etc. must be requested via the home modem or gateway's connection to the Internet service provider's routing equipment.
The ISP monitors all traffic, both up and down between their equipment and your device. When you reach the monthly data limits the ISP can shut off your connection (few do this), throttle your connection to a slow speed, or charge you overage fees.
Various Internet plans are sold with specific speeds (Mbps) and monthly fair usage limits (data caps). Here is a blog post on current speeds and data caps for the major ISP providers in the US: http://isp1.us/blog/current-data-caps-for-us-isp-providers/
Remember, Internet bandwidth and data usage is shared among all devices connected to your wireless router. In simple terms, the more users and devices you have, the more speed and data limits will be required.
Good Luck.
