So, i'm going to cut the cord and go full LTE services and am looking for suggestions on how to best deal with traffic shaping.
Traditionally, I would 'know' my bandwidth via cable, and more often than not got provisioned as stated. It made it easy to setup my pipes and just chop that up as I desired.
However, with LTE... my bandwidth will vary and while I have an idea of a possible average (gathered over a couple weeks of testing). It also has a wide window depending on time of day, other prioritized devices, and signal band.
So, what would be a good approach to shape this traffic? Should I consider an over-provision on the pipes and just chop them up by weight like normal with the possibility of issues occuring, or do I target below average and not utilize what could be a much higher bandwidth opportunity?
Thoughts?
