Burst or BULL? Eugene!

RouterOS General
1

Hello,

I use pppoe server to have my clients connect, I am using profiles and on rate limit I have this “128k/128k 1000k/1000k 256k/256k 30/30”. From what I can see this suppose to give users access to full bandwidth. If user starts downloading a big file and its burst threshold is higher than 256k than it should send user down to 128k…

This does not work.. I tested by downloading a big file, the queue first turns red, than the bandwidth starts to go up and down, it goes up to 1meg and than it comes down to 80k every 15sec or so. So I think this should limit the users to 128k period, that is why I think this is not working.

Am I doing something wrong?
Any one have a setting working correctly?


Thanks

Try this settings:

limit-at=0
max-limit=128k
burst-limit=1000k
burst-treshold=64k
burst-time=30s


Ponit is that burst-treshold has to be lower than max-limit, otherwise you get what you got: limit flips among max-limit and burst-limit every 30 secs.
