Abstract

Villa Nomada, as an accommodation in Kuta, Central Lombok, is experiencing internet network instability due to uneven and uncontrolled bandwidth distribution, which disrupts user comfort, especially for foreign guests who require an optimal connection. The solution implemented is bandwidth management using the Hierarchical Token Bucket (HTB) method to allocate bandwidth fairly and efficiently. This research contributes to improving quality of service (QoS) by optimizing network performance through HTB. The method used is HTB configuration to allocate bandwidth based on user categories (VIP, Regular, and Office). Network performance was evaluated before and after implementation to measure improvements in speed and stability. The research results showed that HTB successfully distributed bandwidth evenly, with VIP users receiving priority, while regular and office users obtained stable connections without interruptions. Network efficiency improved, reducing congestion and increasing user satisfaction. We rated the HTB method as “Good” for optimizing network performance. In conclusion, the implementation of HTB successfully addressed the bandwidth management issues at Villa Nomada, ensuring fair distribution and optimal network performance for all users.
