I have just got my new CCR 1036 12G-4S.
Under the network Ethernet Interface, I cannot find the setting to limit bandwidth (integer/integer; Default: unlimited/unlimited).
This exists on my RB1000AH, but not here - any ideas?
I need to limit my up-link connection to the ISP at 10Mbps, if i go over this i will be charged burstable overages which i do not want.
Any ideas please?
Better to this with Simple Queues, in the Queues menu.
I checked with simple queues, and the queue per machine by IP address was created.
We made 4 queues, each with a unlimited burst 3Mbps/3Mbps for Tx/Rx.
When all 4 machines are running they are all limited to 3Mbps, and the total bandwidth on the uplink goes to 12Mbps.
I want to restrict the actual traffic passing across the uplink eth1 to 10Mbps regardless of what the other queues are doing (i guess I need this catch all queue to have the final say on the speed)… the uplink should have the final say in the matter.
For example:
Machine A transferring @ 3Mbps
Machine B transferring @ 3Mbps
Machine C transferring @ 3Mbps
Machine D transferring @ 0Mbps
Up-link speed = 9Mbps
Machine A trying to transfer @ 3Mbps
Machine B trying to transfer @ 3Mbps
Machine C trying to transfer @ 3Mbps
Machine D trying to transfer @ 3Mbps
Up-link speed = 10Mbps
Actual transfer speed of machine A,B,C,D = 2.5Mbps
Is this above scenario possible?
yup just limit speed on the WAN port to 10mbits. The other queues should level out as you illustrated.
You can also do this with queue tree and mangle rules, but simple queue is much easier.
