Dynamically sized queue trees

RouterOS Scripting
1

Hello all,

I’m am relatively new to tik and must say I am impressed by it’s abilities.

Scenario:

I have 3 queue trees (Bulk, Interactive and Voice)

Usually bulk accounts for the majority of the available bandwidth, but the requirements have changed a bit and it is time to evolve a bit. :stuck_out_tongue: It is currently a static entry (max-limit=x).

I would like to dynamically size the bulk queue tree’s max limit as per let’s say 80% or 90% of the available bandwidth.

Two things needed:

  1. actual bandwidth available…
  2. ability to avg this out…

Have you guys got any suggestions? Or have my thoughts led me down the wrong path…?

Regards

Available bandwidth will in most cases be statically assigned bandwidth by your provider.
Ask your provider for guaranteed bandwidth and enter static values.

Thanks for your reply,

The reason why I’m asking this is the following:

I want to change all HS’s bulk allocated bandwidth at a moments notice and allow more bandwidth for the interactive queue (typically during gaming times).

Ie, change 70% bulk, 20% interactive, 10% voice to ----> 20% bulk, 70% interactive, 10% voice.

The trick comes in where load conditions change and things deteriorate (interference and some other guy uses the same channel as me) and I would like to resize on a “need to use interactive queue tree” basis.

If I can use something similar to P throughput, that would be great…
