P2P connection limiting

RouterOS General
1

When we have people using P2P we tend to find ping times go all over the place, even if we create queue rules.

The only reason I can think this is the case is due to the large number of connections that P2P tarffic tends to make.

If this is the case (and even if it isn’t) it would be very useful to be able to limit the number of connections somehow.

For example as a filter or queue option, you could specify that only x number of connections could be made at the same time using packet marking.

Something else I have noticed is that connections seem to stay open in Mikrotik even long after applications have been closed - can this be changed?

Look at the connection-limit option and limit options for filters and mangle..

Also the connections lingering are normal.

I am having the same problem. Would be nice if someone has a solution for this (and the method how:) )
