Hello,
I am setting up a Mikrotik box to do traffic shaping and then per customer rate limiting. Following the examples on the wiki page I am going to mark traffic for shaping in prerouting and prioritize in global-in, then remark traffic in chain forward and rate limit in interface queue. My question is for the first marking should I mark the connection and then mark the packets in prerouting for the first shaping and then remark the connection and mark the packets in forward for the limiting, or should I just mark the packets in prerouting and then mark the connection and remark the packets in forward?
Are there any issues with marking a connection once (say dst port 80 for http) in prerouting then remarking the connection by customer ip in chain forward?
