Hi. I am trying to save myself from the MikroTik paranoia here. I love MikroTik. This is an important topic for the hardcore old-school all-knowing network pros. They must help here. Many efforts have been made to prioritize packets. But what if our ISP has MikroTik as well and prioritizes pac…

Mikrotik was not designed for nor does it cater to the Novice. I don’t have any certifications yet four hours after reading the manual, four years ago, I had working QoS and have never looked back. It’s pretty pitiful when a user can’t even figure out how to copy and paste rules in to their router …

I agree Mikrotik isn’t designed for novices, they sure could improve their documentation, and provide more real world examples. Better explanation of features and setting. Some documentation using Winbox for the examples, in addition to command line would help the un-experienced users, I think. I’m…

the quickiest method is to look at ‘dropped packets’ statistics of queue, I think =)

what about dynamic hotspot users ? they will have dynamic simple Q’s .. but all equalizing and prioritizing traffic should be in Q tree .. which one will kill the other ? simple Q or Q tree ??? or they will work together which i dont think so ..

They will work together. Example can be seen here: http://mum.mikrotik.com/presentations/EG07/sunday.pdf Pages 24 & 25. more: http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Queue#Queue_Tree Queue tree creates a unidirectional queue in one of the HTBs. It is also the only way to add a queue on a separate in…

Try it, if all works fine - leave it that way. Sergej probably meant that it’s not Best Practice to do it (in his opinion. probably may have later complications and more CPU and mem usage of router, etc, etc) but if it works - nothing can stop you from using it. May become your Best Practice he he.

but it shouldnt be like that , there must be a known info , which one will execute first , or one of them will be ignored ..

Upper ones will get traffic first, lower ones will not catch that traffic. This is why your ICMP rule stays ontop of Simple Queues. I currently use only Queue Tree - I’ve got complete control over what I need there. If you have queues in Queue Simple - they will catch traffic first and it won’t get…

about using simple queues and queue tree together - you have to know what you are doing in what place or you will brake your queues - that is why sergejs suggested to use only one of possibilities. While mixed configuration with correct packet marks will work without any problems what so ever, and …

Does Queue processing (QoS, PCQ, HTB, etc.) depend on ISP?!!
