Traffic Prioritization with Queue trees
Posted: Tue Oct 09, 2007 3:33 am
Hi Folks,
Macgaiver says this:
I have the mangle rules working well, identifying traffic by port and protocol, using conn.mark and packet mark. The counters increment correctly.
I also used the wiki http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/TransparentTrafficShaper to help me get these right.
An example of a couple of these mangle rules (not all as its a long list):
I am having problems with the queue tree however. This is the code for my queue tree:
My Main aim here is to ensure that my SIP phone calls and remote winbox sessions do not get broken by other traffic and surfing.
But it doesnt seem to work properly, my sip calls still get broken up when other traffic passes.
Do I need to make queues for upload and download? or should I duplicate the mangle rules with one set for the WAN interface and the other for the LOCAL interface?
Can anyone spot a mistake?
Help appreciated.
Alex

I am working on step 1, the traffic prioritisation.Let me explain how to realize QoS in 2 steps
1) traffic prioritization - mangle traffic by type (first 200k, last 200k, p2p, icmp etc) in prerouting and prioritize it in global-in (using only queue tree) - WITHOUT ANY LIMITATION - only priorities - this way all packets will be arranged in to your determined sequence!
2) traffic shaping - RE-MANGLE traffic by users in mangle chain forward, and place limitation on the interface queues (using PCQ for example) - this way you will be dropping last traffic from the sequence you made earlier
Thats all folks!!! It took me one Mikrotik Advanced QoS training + 2 weeks to handle
