ASK: How to separate bandwidth limiting per file extension?

sridjokoonline · April 20, 2009, 10:07am

Hello,
I’ve a problem with my bandwidth manager, i need to separate queue by file extensions, how can i do this with mikrotik? like a delay_pool in linux and squid.

Note : I use a mikrotik internal transparent proxy.

Thanks for your help…

only proxy knows about extensions, but you can only block using proxy. you can’t decide bandwidth based on that.

how about using external proxy, like linux with squid?

you can configure RouterOS to forward all web traffic to an external device, yes.

or can I let clients who get http data from proxy to get full bandwidth (no queue), and others will be queued. ? because, i’ve 5 clients I add their IP into a queue tree, when a client download big size files, other client’s connection slow down. The PCQ is no more effective since I use proxy. Please tell me what to do..
thanks
