Some days ago I posted a message here, but I dind’t have a lot of help and I wasn’t able to solve my problem.
I want to do the QoS and bandwidht limitation on my mikrotik. I’m thinking in use the simple queues to do the bandwidth limitation and the mangle+queue tree to do the QoS.
My major doubt about this is: What interface have I to use to do the QoS control???
I tryed to do the QoS using the GLOBAL-OU interface, but when I setup this I the traffic don’t pass by the simple queue of my customer.
I want I solution that to the QoS works fine!
PS: The interfaces where my customers are connectd are named AP, AP2 and ETH. The interface that is connected with my firewall (PTP with my office) is named PTP.
I want to priorizy the packets in this order: voip, dns, http, email, others and p2p
I’m doing this marking the packets using mangle. Then I create some queue trees to do the priorizing of the traffic.
The major problem is that if I use the global-out to do the QoS the traffic don’t pass by my simple queues (I’ve one for each customers of my network, limiting the upload/download do the maximum allowed) and my customer have free internet speed.
If I configure the interface of the queue trees as AP (name of the interface where my customers are connected) the traffic pass by the QoS and the simple queues, but I don’t know if the QoS and the bandwidth limitation are working fine… And I don´t know how I can test if the QoS is efficient!
You would need to mark each protocol by it’s port number(s), and create a flow rule for the rest, adding a queue tree for each protocol with a lower priority.
Then create simple queues for your clients, you can have a single simple queue for all your clients (one for each speed adding target addresses for each client).
The interface would be the one that gets the connection, in your case PTP.
To test if it’s working the best thing is to try yourself, create a rule for FTP and test it while using bittorrent.
