I. brief introduction of the software

In order to limit the network speed of the set-top box and test the operation of the set-top box in the poor network environment, we use the software P2P Terminator to achieve the speed limit.

P2P Terminator is a set of network management software developed by Net.Soft Studio to control P2P download traffic in enterprise network. It uses the principle of ARP spoofing to control the network. It provides a very simple solution to the problem that P2P software takes up too much bandwidth. The software is implemented based on the underlying protocol analysis and processing, and has good transparency. The software can adapt to most network environment, including proxy server, ADSL router sharing Internet, Lan private line and other network access environment.

II. Environmental preparation

A set-top box, a router, a PC, P2P Terminator software.

Third, environmental construction 1. Network building

Connect the PC and the set-top box to the router to establish a local area network; this local area network should be able to connect to the external network to ensure that under normal circumstances, the set-top box can obtain all information and play video.

two。 Software installation

Click p2pover (Terminator). Exe installation runs the program to install, the installation process is no different from other windows software, it is not described here.

3. System setup

After the installation is complete, the system Settings interface appears the first time you start the program:

The software will read all the network card information on the PC, including the virtual network card; select the network card to use (usually the PC has only one physical network card to choose it). After selecting the network card, the program will automatically fill in the remaining information such as IP address, MAC address and so on.

When the Network Card Settings is complete, click the Control Settings tab.

On the "Control Settings" page, check "discover new hosts by detecting ARP requests" so that when new devices are added to the monitored network, they can be discovered by the software and controlled by us.

Other settings can be set by default. After confirming that the information is correct, click the "OK" button to end the system settings.

4. Scan the network

After configuring the "system setup", when entering the software home page, the software will automatically refresh and obtain the IP, MAC address and other information of all the devices in the network, and display them on the home page. If you find that the network information displayed on the home page is incorrect or missing, you can manually click the "scan Network" button in the toolbar to retrieve it.

In the obtained equipment information, the gray indicates that the device is not online, and the lit one indicates that the device is online.

5. Control rule settings

Click "options" in the menu bar-"Control Rule Settings" to open the "Control Rule Settings" interface:

There are four default rules in the interface. We can create new rules or edit or delete existing rules. Here we select "Global Speed limit template" and click "Edit" to modify it.

Click "Edit" to enter the "Rule Editing" interface, and select the "Broadband restrictions" tab in the interface:

Here, we can set the network speed attribute of the "global speed limit template" rule, and then apply it to a device to limit the network speed of the device.

When you have finished editing the Broadband restrictions information, click OK.

6. Specify rules

In the main interface, check the device you want to control, click the "specify rules to host" button, and pop up the "Control Rule assignment" dialog box:

In the Control Rule assignment dialog box, select the Global Speed limit template you just edited, and then confirm.

7. Start control, stop control

By doing the above, we have edited the rules and bound them to the target device, and we can limit the speed of the target device by clicking the "start Control" button. After starting the control, using the target set-top box to play the video, you can see that the cache speed of the set-top box is limited to the specified range.

When we want to restore the restricted network to normal, all we have to do is click the "stop controls" button.
