Abstract

The internet network can be considered a concept in which multiple computers within a higher education institution are able to interact and share data and information globally. It plays a crucial role in supporting student access to learning resources, particularly at the Indonesian College of Economics Makassar (STIKI). This research aims to implement bandwidth management using the Hierarchical Token Bucket (HTB) method. The HTB method is implemented through a MikroTik Router RB941 using the Simple Queue technique. Based on the analysis of internet usage at STIKI, users are classified into four categories: lecturers, students, the institution (foundation), and guests. The bandwidth requirements analysis revealed that lecturers required a maximum bandwidth limit of 10 Mbps, students 13 Mbps, the foundation 8 Mbps, and guests 5 Mbps. The performance testing parameters used in this study include throughput, delay, jitter, and packet loss. The results of the testing indicated improvements in the network performance at STIKI following the application of the HTB method. Average throughput increased from 688 Kbps to 1149 Kbps, packet loss decreased from 0.05% to 0.0%, delay was reduced from 118.676 ms to 56.197 ms, and jitter improved from 119.08 ms to 56.04 ms. These results demonstrate that each parameter experienced performance improvement after the implementation of the HTB method.
