What exactly mean “priority doesn’t work without limitation”: priority doesn’t work without limitation in parent queue; priority doesn’t work without limitation in each child queue; both? Tx

Well, I read it. And watched the movie too. This phrase (“priority doesn’t work without limitation”) is present in both places, but that’s all, nothing more.

Thank god that you never asked the question about prioritising inbound traffic as that is even more contraversial. However, if it helps I can confirm that even if the max-limit of the “child queues” is set to within 10% of the parent (maximum pipe size)something happens, but its hard to guess wheth…

color of queue is just a color =) it shows current traffic of the queue and has nothing to do with packet processing. you can have red queue with ‘limit-at’ still not reached, and you can have green queue which drops packets smaller number of priority for the queue which reached ‘limit-at’ traffic …

Oh my friend, you brought even more confusion, not clearness. In the past, in old versions of the manual, I remember it was written in this way, but look at the new wiki: "Child queue with higher priority will have chance to reach its limit-at before child with lower priority and after that child …

A queue in green state means that it has not yet reached the “limit-at” level. As you know “limit-at” is CIR, the bandwidth always guaranteed to the client. This means that no priority would take place until queue will reach it’s yellow state (above CIR) because the guarantee you have provided to…

color have nothing to do with ‘limit-at’ value: [Clipboard01.gif] [Clipboard03.gif] [Clipboard02.gif]

and this one is just perfect example, ‘limit-at’ is still not reached, but the queue is already red =) [Clipboard00.gif]

:slight_smile: and now Chupaka should link his contact and make public his fees for consultancy… Bottom line: it is possible to make a lot of interesting queue trees to make queue color change - it is all about HTB. so if you wanna understand what is priority and where those colors are coming from …

Yes, Chupaka and macgaiver are correct on this matter. In pictures the Chupaka posted, check his Queue parent color. The keyword here is “available” traffic.

So Normis My question has then kinda been answered. The pretty colours that have been provided for us in relation to the queue system, serve no purposse excepting to show in 3 seperate colours, whether our queue is at 0% - 50% available traffic used - green 51% - 75% available traffic used - yel…
