Connection sharing between several companies

RouterOS General
1

Hi,

I’m using a 951G-2HnD to share a fiber connection between 2 companies with gigabit ethernet sublinks.
To separate traffic, I use ip firewall filter to reject forwarding between the 2 interfaces, but I also want to avoid that one company eat the whole bandwidth, So I’m trying to limit bandwidth for each of them, but none of my try seemed to work
I tried queues, simple queues, interface max-limit, etc… I tried even very low but not null limit-at parameters, etc… I spent one whole afternoon on that whithout success. My bandwidth test still displays 50MBit/s up and down…

I’m using already a RB10000 to make BGP peerings on another location, so I can’t be called an absolute Mikrotik beginner, but I can’t understand that’s it’s so difficult to make a simple rate limit that I’d implement in 10 seconds on any taiwanese or chinese-american switch…

Is there a simple solution that I missed ?

Thank you in advance

Bobby

how about PCQ

I tried this without success… Are there some functionalities in RouterOS that are not implemented on some hardwares ?

It depends on how are you trying to implement it and if your current configuration interferes with it.
A straight forward config should be a simple queue with target address=192.168.10.0/24 (the network of one company for example), or as target the interface at which it does connect. More info about your config and how you are trying it could be of more help.
