Fast Track and Queue Priority

RouterOS General
1

Hi,

I want to use fast track together with my queue priorities. For example I have a 10mbps connection

Current config without fast track:
Port 9100 (max limit=10mbps; priority=1)
Port 80 (max limit=8mbps; priority=2)

after incorporating fast track, my config will be:
Port 9100 (fast track)
Port 80 (max limit=8mbps; priority=2)


Is the second config with fast track more beneficial for a faster connection coming from port 9100 or are the two rules will function just the same?

Thanks.

May happen you will not see any major difference. On the other hand you will not be dropping any of 9100 packets so it could be on some rare situations better. Depends on how often the first variant is dropping the packets.
