Mikrotik Queues

Hi All

I would like to have a queue set on MK for different profiles. I have a PPPoE server and i want users to be able to share a pool of bandwidth between them. For example i want to create a profile of 2Mb download 512k upload. So I will contend the users on that pool. Every 4 users should have that pool of BW and the next 4 users a new pool is created automatically. is there a way i can achieve that?

Please Help :slight_smile:

Simple queues will work just fine if you aren’t using fastpath - if I remember correctly.

Simply create pools for each group of users and you can create simple queues for those pools and assign whatever limits you need.

Hi Revelation

Thank you for your reply. I am a beginner on this and it would help if you could explain how to create one queue and i will manage to create the others.
Another thing, once i set the queues, will them automatically create new queues for another 4 users?
e.g: On my queues i want every 4 users to share the 2mb down and 512k up. so for 16 users there should be 4 queues. will MK do this automatically?

Simple queues are pretty easy, just keep in mind that you can’t run Fast Path with simple queues.

[Revelation@MikroTik] /queue simple> print
Flags: X - disabled, I - invalid, D - dynamic 
 0    name="Test" target=10.10.25.66/32 parent=none packet-marks="" priority=8/8 queue=default-small/default-small 
      limit-at=0/0 max-limit=0/0 burst-limit=0/0 burst-threshold=0/0 burst-time=0s/0s bucket-size=0.1/0.1

      limit-at=0/0 max-limit=2M/5M burst-limit=2M/10M burst-threshold=0/5M burst-time=15s/30s bucket-size=0.1/0.1



For simple queues you would want them in the same small subnet or interface. I’m sure it can be done automatically via scripts, that is outside of my domain.

Hi Revelation

Thank you for your reply. Will test and hopeful it will work.
