We have a site with very limited bandwidth (10 Mbps download/1 Mbps upload), and dozens of users.
The main router on site is a mikrotik.
We want to have the mikrotik distribute the bandwidth evenly to every user, in such a way that if there’s only one active user, he gets the entire 10Mbps/1Mbps, but if there’s 10 users, each one gets 1Mbps/100kbps.
Every mikrotik forum post related to this topic suggests using PCQ, which sounds like what we need, but I’m not sure how to use it.
The main 2 Mikrotik articles explaining its usage that everyone links to appear to be:
- https://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:Queues_-_PCQ
- https://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:Queues_-_PCQ_Examples
Unfortunately, the articles are so old that they refer to RouterOS v5.0 RC5 as the new thing. RouterOS v5 came out 8 years ago. I have a niece that goes to school who wasn’t born when v5 came out.
Besides that, even when the articles were relevant, they were pretty confusing.
Is there an up-to-date explanation of how to setup what I’m looking for? Or can someone explain it?
