Quota: wi-fi data managing and costing system

Abstract

Project Quota is about wireless local area networks and managing its data usage. There is no simple way to calculate and restrict individual data usage in a small scale wireless local area network. Quota enables that ability by forcing network users to use a third party software when connecting to the network. That software syncs users’ usage statistics to a central node. Owner of the wireless router or access point can remotely manage data usage of clients after signing in to a web application hosted in central node. This document describes the design and implementation of the Quota 1.0 which includes a client application and a central server web application. Since windows platform is targeted in this version of the product, client application consists of a windows Graphical User Interface application and a windows service.
