Go read the manual. There is an entire section devoted to this.
Sorry that you are getting the old “read the manual” reply. I wish I could be of more help, but like you, I have just enough time to do what I have to, and not enough time to do what I should.
The best thing I can recommend, is to search for terms like “rate limit”, “p2p” “throttle”, etc, and you will eventually find what you need. Also, unless something is new in the p2p controls in 2.9, you will not be able to limit p2p that transfers as udp packets, as the filters and mangle rules will not address that traffic. If this is not correct, someone please show me as well, as this still gets through my configuration, especially torrent traffic.
You guys that recommend reading the manuals need to understand that many of us that use the Mikrotik OS are not very good at the technical aspect of coding this, and that good postings of solutions you have already done only improves the product for everyone. Why reinvent the wheel when someone else has already done it? I don’t buy the idea that if we create it ourselves, we will be able to figure out everything for ourselves. If that is the case, why have a forum at all?
I wish there were a place (maybe the WIKI is the answer) where all of these solutions that are found by rooting out the forums are placed so they are easier to find, rather than have people have to post the same questions over and over. When you see redundant questions about rate limiting p2p and prioritizing voip, it should be pretty clear that there needs to be some specific documentation showing not just examples, but coding templates that work, and can also be modified to fit specific needs.
Finally, I want to say that I am mightily impressed by those of you who endeavor to write your questions in English, when it is not your first language, and that it serves as proof that if someone can create intelligible questions written in English, when it is not a familiar language to them, but they are having difficulty in creating the configuration for specific Mikrotik OS issues, that there needs to be a better way to provide support for this product.

Understand that many people here on the forums make their living by consulting on and configuring Mikrotik systems. Many people come up here and ask for examples and pre-built configs. Some people, me included, don’t mind offering up help to get someone unstuck, but most professionals are not going to give away their “secret sauce” by posting prebuilt configs. I see this same behavior on Asterisk forums and people get the same answers – pay someone or invest the time.
Listen to Provoshane when he recommends searching the forums with specific terms. You also need to study p2p traffic by various software. That means setting up a test bed and watching traffic with the Torch tool and packet sniffers and tuning your rule sets. You can’t stop all p2p traffic since the current Mikrotik version doesn’t have as much layer 7 classification as needed. In my experience, keeping track of who moves how much traffic is the best way to police network abuse.
