I have had my queues working ok, using the Tree’s but I would like to move to Simple queues as they allow me to set an overall max speed (rx and tx) for each queue. My setup before was:
OutBound Internet Traffic - CIR 1024, MIR 2048
– Customer Queue limited to say CIR 131 MIR 256
Inbound Internet Traffic - CIR 1024, MIR 2048
– Customer Queue limited to say CIR 131 MIR 256
Local Traffic - CIR 5Mbps, MIR 10Mbps
– Customer Queue limited to say CIR 1Mbps MIR 10Mbps
This was working fine but I need to limit each customer to 256K total and I cant seem to do that with trees. If anyone thinks I can I’d love to know.
So I’ve just setup simple queues instead with one queue per customer
X.X.X.X CIR 131072/131072 MIR 256/256 Total CIR 131072 Total MIR 256
And have left Tree Queues for the local traffic.
Now my problem is how can I set an overall limit on my External Interface, before with trees the top of the tree limited the overall bandwidth and caused the kick in for CIR’s .. So any ideas? I basically need to limit all the simple queues I create as a group to allow a CIR/MIR of 2048. or directly limit the speed of the External Interface (which is an ethernet card)
I basically had a set of these for each customer. Problem is they can in theory when download and uploading use 512K when they should only be able to use 256.
If I have missed something I’ll be glad to be proved wrong
to limit 256kbps for each client with queue trees, use PCQ (per connection queues).
for marking packets, if you are using masquerading you have to mark the connection which is going from your local network, for example, mark HTTP traffic:
Still seem to get the same result, to control traffic in both directions I need to have two rules.
The mangle rule appears to be working all right as all traffic runs through it ( interface=all) when I use this in the Tree queues I set the parent to Bridge1 which is my bridge between the lan and wan. When I do this it only logs traffic in one direction. I’ve tried every interface but its still not right.
Do I need to create two tree queues? one for global-in, one for global-out then have two queues for each customer? If not then I’m stuck again
yes, you have to add 2 rules, but you can use the same flow for them:
(download)
/queue tree add parent=Local flow=HTTP …
(upload)
/queue tree add parent=Public flow=HTTP …
wow after implement what dave says…
my router box works great…
I use combined queue tree and simple queues
to control bandwidth…
e.g. 256kbps using queue simple for pipe bandwitdh
and 128kbps using mangle/queue tree for international traffic
