Multiple Mikrotik-Rate-Limit how to

RouterOS General
1

Dear Friends,

I would like to share this situation with the community to get help about it.
We have customers which connect via pppoe connection.
Users are validated by RADIUS (FreeRadius) running on Debian Squeeze and after they logged-in, Radius assigns Bandwith to Mikrotik RB which adds a Simple Queue.
Everything is working pretty well by now.

As we want to implement several bandwith queues for every user logged-in regarding their destination address, we want to do it by using Mikrotik-Rate-Limit attribute (or other solution).
According to wiki documentation at Mikrotik’s website there is no solution to achieve this.
http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:RADIUS_Client

How can we do multiple simple queues with different destinations address/subnet using Radius attribute?.
Creating new simple queues manually is tedious as users are continuing growing.

If we can’t do this, could you please add this posibility into a new release of routerOS?.
Rules are set, you could add new parameters to this rule.

Have you considered having RADIUS return a mikrotik-address-list attribute rather than a mikrotik-rate-limit attribute and using the address-list in your statically configured queues?

We put different classes of users in different address-lists via RADIUS and the PCQ queue types used in the queue trees apply to all IPs in a particular address-list.

Lambert, I did not. I’ll give it a try.
We would like to get router functional as quick as posible. I mean right now, we are setting ips, ospvf, bgp, radius and pppoe and done. Bandwidth is setted up by radius without a single line in router.

As you know, mikrotik-rate-limit has everything in it impleted so there will not be lots of problem adding some parameters to the radius attribute to consider support simple queue widely the way you may configure it in router directly.



Cheers.
