Inconsistencies on Mikrotik Wiki with QoS

RouterOS General
1

I have burn my brain trying to priorize traffic with mikrotik.

I have read a lot, and i decide to post one of all erros on mikrotik wiki. For example on document: http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Voip there is an example code:

/queue tree 
add burst-limit=0 burst-threshold=0 burst-time=0s disabled=yes limit-at=0 max-limit=0 name="IN" packet-mark="" parent=global-in priority=1 queue=default 
add burst-limit=0 burst-threshold=0 burst-time=0s disabled=yes limit-at=0 max-limit=0 name="OUT" packet-mark="" parent=global-out priority=1 queue=default 
add burst-limit=0 burst-threshold=0 burst-time=0s disabled=yes limit-at=0 max-limit=0 name="SIP_IN" packet-mark=SIP_IN parent=IN priority=2 queue=default 
add burst-limit=0 burst-threshold=0 burst-time=0s disabled=yes limit-at=0 max-limit=0 name="SIP_OUT" packet-mark=SIP_OUT parent=OUT priority=2 queue=default 
add burst-limit=0 burst-threshold=0 burst-time=0s disabled=yes limit-at=0 max-limit=0 name="ALL_ELSE_IN" packet-mark=ELSE_IN parent=IN priority=8 queue=default 
add burst-limit=0 burst-threshold=0 burst-time=0s disabled=yes limit-at=0 max-limit=0 name="ALL_ELSE_OUT" packet-mark=ELSE_OUT parent=OUT priority=8 queue=default

But on another document: http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:HTB says:

Make a note that priority only works:

for leaf queues - priority in inner queue have no meaning.
if max-limit is specified (not 0)

So..first code dont work because there is no max limit.

It will be great that mikrotik upload again new official manuals to dont confuse their customers.

wiki topic you are mentioning is not part of RouterOS manual but is user generated example. If you wish, you can register as a user on our wiki and make necessary changes for this example to work or point out the errors.

Nice try. So a user seeking help is supposed toregister in the wiki and FIX it so that he can then find the help needed`

May I ask why he would even use the Wiki in the first place if he already knew the answer?

Or, if he would know the answer he would not look. if he ook, he lacks the knowledge to change the wiki. Which makes your argument a fallacy, sorry.

This is noe problem you have - documentation is not users but producers respionsibility, and the wiki wont help as the people seekingknowledge can not provide it, and the people knowing dont go around fixing it.

A wiki is all about community input. It wouldn’t work if no one put their time into adding to it. I am assuming that one of the reason mikrotik products are so cheap but still excellent quality/value is that they don’t spend hours upon hours developing a fancy manual that still couldn’t cover everything. Someone who can answer you question will hopefully see this thread and help you. bitching wont get you anywhere. IMHO.

Like JanisK said above, that document is not made or maintained by mikrotik.

only documents that begin with “Manual:” are mikrotik documents:
http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Category:Manual#list

Iam not againts wikis. Like a customer i demand more official control over the veracity of the documents posted. In this case i could realize that there was an error. A Wiki is not a forum.

This only harm customers and mikrotik interests. Because a lot mikrotik users trust on that info.
