Clarify docs, pls: limit-bytes-total, rate-limit/priority

RouterOS General
1

Trying to configure my hotspot, regarding the documentation I have the following questions:

  • “limit-bytes-total”: In case of “shared-users”, every single user with the same user name has this limit, right ?
  • I do not understand the purpose of “priority” for the parameter “rate-limit”.
    Priority regarding to what ?

  1. limit-bytes-total is being used per one user.
    limit-bytes-total = limit-bytes-in + limit+bytes-out
    You can limit upload+download together for each user, not separately just upload or download.

  2. Priority is used to set more importance for the specific traffic over the other traffic. Like you may set priority=1 to HTT traffic and priority 8 to other traffic, HTTP traffic will be server at the first place.
