Managing burstable bandwidth

RouterOS General
1

Dear Mikrotik users, I have a good basic understanding of Mikrotik but things like queues i am not sure on. I need to:

Setup WAN port for 10Mbps maximum (we must not go over this WAN bandwidth otherwise we will be charged)
Setup queue for Machine A – 1Mbps committed bandwidth, 5Mbps burstable (maximum of 1 minute)
Setup queue for Machine B – 1Mbps committed bandwidth, 5Mbps burstable (maximum of 1 minute)
Setup queue for Machine C – 1Mbps committed bandwidth, 5Mbps burstable (maximum of 5 minutes)

Can anyone advise where I should look for tutorials so i can find out the settings for the above?

Also, how many queues can exist on one box?

Thanks in advance

The above link well guides you in the world of queues and burst.
As i know, not (only) the number of queues are the limit, but rather the handled bandwidth.

(For example, and RB450G easily can handle 100 queues - if the aggregate bandwidth is not more than 50mbps
however limiting one queue to 100mbps will take it to it’s knees.)
