The ASA is pretty much limited for this use-case. You can police the traffic, but that will be a nightmare to configure for many users with different needs. If you really need that, consider doing it on an external device that is specialized on traffic-shaping or if you can replace the firewall against a Cisco Meraki MX which is quite powerful with bandwidth control.

Hello karsten,

My requirements is simple.Can you help me which is suitable product.

1.A network of 150 user

2.Configure users and groups.And have to give suitable bandwidth to all users and groups.

Which meraki MX  series would be Suggested?? 

The Cisco Meraki MX84 could be of the right size.

ok....

Thanks for support

Can i able to create in username and password for seperate users/group for internet access?

You can use information from Active-Directory to assign users to group-policies. These group-policies are configured for bandwidth, firewall, content-filtering ...

Karsten,

Thanks for reply....

Acctually We dont have the a Active directory .So can we create users manually and assign passwords.The reason is that,customer is a HOTEL.Users will connected via wireless. 

And also you have any idea regarding how many WAN can be connected?maximum speed?

Well, all endpoints can get assigned a policy manually, but that's probably not what you want. On the Meraki Access-Points you have the same bandwidth control, but you can assign policies based on endpoint type or authentication credentials. An AD is not needed there. Perhaps better do do it on the AP instead on the Firewall.

The MX should give you a throughput of up to 400/450 Mbit/s
