Dear All,
I got a problem that if a client downloads something via HTTP port, all other clients can’t browse/surf. Eventhough I limit the downloading client with a very very small amount of bandwidth, but all network can’t go thru the HTTP port. Any advices??
Thanks n Rgds,
Men Fung
Please provide us with more info such as your internet connection speed, what speed you give to your clients etc.
It could be that your line is too small to handle all the traffic, but it could also be something simples as a queue somewhere limiting all traffic including your outgoing traffic.
Could you perhaps post your queue’s?
Thanks Giepie for replying my post… I appreciate it so much, bro..
At first I got one 512kbps vsat connection, which had the problem mentioned in my previous post. Recently I applied another connection, it’s an ADSL one, no problem with this connection eventhough I made the same configuration on both of them.
I really don’t know why the problem only occured on the vsat connection. Any one knows??
Below I list the configuration I made on my mikrotik PC Router:

If you see something wrong with the configuration above, please tell me and help me to fix it.
Thank you very much for trying to help me.

Hi there
I need some more info. Please tell me what all the routing marks mean and where they come from. I can see you have a Bronz01 IP list. Does this mean you have IP lists of all your different groups of clients? Eg Bronze for good clients, Gold for best clients etc?
Also tell me why you want to shape downloads at different sizes. I have never done anything like that, so what I can figure out is that you want downloads to start fast, and come down in speed the longer it takes. Was this your last resort in getting the VSAT working?
Nothing I could see in the info I have should cause one client to kill the entire line.
Is it not possible to past your entire configuration file? That would most certainly help me find out more info.
Re, G
Hi Giepie,
It’s really nice that you reply so quickly…
Actually I grouped my users before, but then I disabled all groups except bronze01. They were bronze, silver and gold. Each group had some smaller groups, such as bronze01, bronze02 and so on. I grouped them depend on the bandwidth I gave on them. And yeah you’re right.. bronze is an IP list.
From my configuration, I want all users can browse well eventhough other users are downloading. And I want to make it fair that who downloads more will be slowly, and the higher priority will be given to other users download less. This configuration helps me a lot. And when my users try to check speed of my connection they can get a good result, because every time they do a new request, this request is put to highest priority in full speed of bandwidth.
But I don’t have an idea about my vsat connection, I guess that the problem might be caused by the routing configuration on my ISP site. I’ve tried to change the queue type, it didn’t work. And for your info, sometimes I got everything running well. This problem was not occured on my ADSL connection.
Because I found that the problem is not on my site, I’ve decided to close my vsat connection, and I will try to apply another vsat connection from another ISP.
Giepie, if you have another idea on shaping and bandwidth limiting, please tell me and teach me how to configure well. My email address is menfung@unisys-infotech.com, please contact me via email.
Last, I would like to say thanks to you..
