The digital transformation in education has encouraged the adoption of computer-based tests (CBT) using video content, which demands stable and efficient network performance. This study aims to evaluate the performance of two queue management algorithms, namely Random Early Detection (RED) and Per Connection Queue (PCQ), in maintaining the quality of service (QoS) of school networks during online video-based examinations. A case study approach was applied using a real network topology in a school environment, and QoS parameters such as throughput, delay, packet loss, and jitter were measured. The implementation was conducted using a MikroTik RB450Gx4 router configured with simple queue settings for each algorithm. The results show that PCQ provides more consistent performance under high user loads, achieving an average throughput of 56,482 bps and lower delay compared to RED. Conversely, RED performs better in scenarios with a small number of users. The study recommends using PCQ for networks with dynamic and dense user environments, while RED is more suitable for low-traffic conditions where latency stability is crucial. These findings offer practical guidance for managing bandwidth and improving the quality of CBT delivery in educational settings.

This research proposes a time-based dynamic port knocking technique on Mikrotik routers to enhance SSH access security. The system uses an algorithm for port calculation that changes according to the server’s time, requiring a different knocking sequence for each access session. The technique involves three consecutive knocking stages, where each stage must be passed in order for SSH access to be granted. The results show that this method is effective as a two-factor authentication mechanism, limiting access only to clients who understand the port calculation algorithm. Moreover, this system helps prevent brute-force attacks more efficiently by changing the port every minute, making it more difficult for unauthorized parties to launch an attack. Therefore, this method offers a more dynamic, adaptive, and flexible SSH security solution that can effectively address modern cybersecurity threats.
