How can the master ask the students for advice? :lol:

You can create a flow first(mark connection) and then from connection mark create packet mark! It just work better according to the clever people!

I would also like to no from the MT guys why this is so! :?

Try it did it work!

Like I said before, I do not currently run PPPOE and Queue tree on same unit!

But I am sure that you can play with the mangle rules to spesify your outgoing interface! therefore your PPPOE (interface on it's own) should work fine!

Try it and let me know!

The mangle rule will mark all packets as new connections, until total download data reach 1MB (8 megabits in 1 megabyte), then packets match rule to mark them as old packets, hence the priority is shifted down to 8!

I have to disagree! I am running about 10 towers with OSPF, no Problem, Try to run a radius server for your clients to authenticate! This save's a lot of memory on 532! Nstream is very cpu intensive, I do not reccomend it, if you have to, only 1 card for backbone!
