Rate Limit Wireless Guest Traffic

Hi

I am looking for help on a requirement a customer has with Wireless Guest traffic

We have several large offices enabled with WiFi and at each office there are Cisco 2602 APs. These register to foreign WLAN Controllers in a Data Centre over WAN circuits. The Guest traffic is tunnelled back to Anchor Controllers also in the Data Centre and then switched out onto the Internet. 

What I am hoping to achieve is to limit Guest SSID traffic on a per site basis, both inbound and outbound, to 10% of the WAN bandwidth. This is to stop guest users taking all available bandwidth.

I can add a QoS policy to the WAN circuits at each site to restrict the Guest traffic outbound but cant find a way to restrict the traffic inbound protecting the bandwidth for corporate users. 

I am not allowed to amend the QoS policies on the Data Centre WAN circuits as this would mean adding a QoS policy for each remote WiFi enabled office. 

I have seen the URL, http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/docs/wireless/5500-series-wireless-controllers/113682-bdr-limit-guide-00.html, but this does not fit the requirements we have.

Has anyone else come across this type of issue and if so what was done to protect the WAN circuit from guest WiFi traffic inbound

 

Thanks Martyn Taylor
