Could you provide some info about simple queues?

RouterOS General

We’re using queue tree + pcq to limit users rate of customers for almost 5 years.
Since RouterOS 6.x there was a big optimizations to a resources usage of simple queues.
Started to think about moving to them, but found that there’s very poor documentation about simple queues.

Specificaly, I have those questions:

  1. Could I use simple queues to limit customers speeds according to the tariffs, and to limit overall bandwidth to the internet at the same time?
  2. Is it possible to adjust simple queues using RADIUS? I want to limit speeds of a traffic that goes only from/to the sfp1 port.
  3. Could I make dynamically created simple queues to be a child of a parent simple queue?

We’re currently using PPPoE+RADIUS.

I’ve checked first link multiple times before without success.
But the presentation gives me answers to all of my questions.
Thanks for the info!

Correct one for my needs is the dynamic simple queues with just one parent that limits total bandwidth. I’m just didn’t know about where I should define a parent for dynamically created simple queues.
