FastTrack Mikrotik

Hello,

I have a question for the FastTrack solution.
In the firewall filter the FastTrack rules need to be places below, above the existing rules (Block and Accept) or no preference ?

Thank you.

must be above your accept forward established, related rule

The fasttrack line(s) can be placed the best close to the top so that you have maximum speed advantage of it/them.

Not really needed, as the rule will mark the connection, meaning further packets of that connection won’t even enter the filter/mangle/nat table (not sure about the raw, but guess it will enter raw as conntrack hasn’t been matched yet). So “at the top” isn’t that important, BUT before regular accept or it won’t apply.

This is right.
