Hi,
I would really like to get my head around this.
Lets say I have 10mbps pipe coming into RB.
What I want to achieve is this
classify certain traffic as higher priority and equally distribute this amoungst the users.
So I have mangled a few rules and have packet marks correctly catching the traffic i want. My marks are as follows
priority_1
priority_2
priority_3
priority_4
priority_5
priority_6
priority_7
priority_8
Next, I created a queue tree. max-limit=10M and total-limit=10M
Then I created new queue’s with parent of that queue and matched the priority’s i want to the correct packet mark. Some lower priorities have lower max-limit & total-limit but some have 10M.
Now, so far so good. We “good” traffic comes in, its getting more priority than “less good” traffic. The next thing I want to do is get PCQ working so that if there is a lot of “good” traffic going through the network, its correctly allocated by PCQ.
Want I need to understand is this, When I create the queue with priority=2 (for example), assign my packet mark and give max-limit=10M and total-limit=8M, what should the pcq-rate be on the queue type? should it be 0? will PCQ “just know”?
