      Hi guys :)

      I am using captive portal with freeradius to limit users usage, in this case i can use WISPr-Bandwidth-Max-Up , WISPr-Bandwidth-Max-Down freeradius's attributs for upload and download limitation but not burst rate.

      Have freeradius an attribute for Burst rate?

      An attribute exist in dictionary.mikrotik that define rate limit/burst rate/burst threshold/burst time but it is for mikrotik
      How i can use this attribute without use mikrotik device?

      thanks for your time friends. ;)

        No, you cannot no matter what FreeRADIUS supports or not – since burst does not work at all on pfSense in the first place...

          thank you doktornotor for your reply

          but how does mikrotik work with Mikrotik-Rate-Limit attribute?
          Can we simulate these?

            This is not the place to discuss Mikrotik, I'm afraid. Once again, the burst has no effect on limiters on pfSense, as already stated on the linked bug. Until that's fixed, any fiddling with burst configuration on pfSense is utterly useless waste of time.
