You can easily configure QoS for http and FTP using RouterOS.

  1. Classify packets as HTTP, FTP, etc., regardless of port
  2. Mangle
  3. Queues

Question is for 1.

I know what you mean - you want more classifiers by content, like the P2P classifiers in MikroTik.
But the question is how important is it to be able to classify HTTP traffic running on non-standard ports?
This mostly will be special web applications which could be better classified by other means?!

Yes

Not only HTTP.

12

you can do something if you know the packet content. you can use packet content in mangle

13

l7-filter is more flexible and multifunctional than ipp2p

14

we are thinking about adding an l7 filter

15

I second that motion to add the L7 packet classifier code. This functionality would seriously enhance the Mikrotik platform for businesses and ISP’s.

I also vote for content filtering. That missing feauture had strong infulence on my clients decision to use something else and not MT in several occasions.
