Implementasi Manajemen Bandwidth Menggunakan Metode Queue Tree dengan PCQ di SMK Negeri 1 Surabaya

With the rapid advancement of information technology, maintaining a stable and efficient computer network has become essential, particularly in educational settings. SMK Negeri 1 Surabaya encounters difficulties in managing its limited bandwidth because of the large number of users accessing the network simultaneously. This research focuses on applying bandwidth management through the Queue Tree technique combined with Per Connection Queuing (PCQ) on the school's computer network using Mikrotik hardware. The approach aims to enhance network performance by improving throughput, minimizing delays, and stabilizing jitter. Evaluation of Quality of Service (QoS) indicators—including throughput, packet loss, delay, and jitter—demonstrated favorable outcomes, with all metrics categorized as good. Findings confirm that using Queue Tree and PCQ methods contributes to fairer bandwidth distribution, mitigates network congestion, and improves overall network quality in the educational environment. This study offers a practical solution to support teaching and administrative processes by providing a more reliable and efficient network infrastructure.
