Hello, I´m using this rate limit in the client profile of my pppoe server that it was copied somewhere in internet . I try to see in the mikrotik wiki what is all numbers but I can´t identify exactly all, especially last ones.
The rate limit is configured as follow: 256K/3072K 300K/3200K 256K/3072K 2 8 0
Can anybody help me?
Are you using UM or not?
It’s obvious it’s showing your speed limiting and the values are shown for specific part e.g. first one I think showing download rate 2nd one showing upload rate and so on.
If you are using UM:
go to Profile/Limitation
Or if you are not using Radius:
go to PPP/profile
check there, There should be this values for limiting.
This picture is taken from my UM showing limitations:
Thanks for the answer, I don´t use UM I just use ppp profile and users (secrets) in it. If I go to ppp/profiles I can see clearly:
Name Local Address Remote Address Rate Limit (rx/tx) Only One
PPPoE_3M_256K 10.XXX.0.1 Pool_PPPoE 256K/3072K 300K/3200K 256K/3072K 2 8 0 yes
I asume that I know what is some numbers but others i don´t know what is:
256K/3072K
upload rate/download rate — but when or where it used?
300K/3200K
upload rate/download rate — but when or where it used?
256K/3072K
upload rate/download rate — but when or where it used?
2 8 0
I don´t know what meaning this numbers for teh rate limit.
I´m sorry about the question but I´m very noob in it and I didn´t find clearly info about it searching in mikrotik wiki and internet.
Hello, let me try to explain a bit.
You have 3 pairs of rates, separated by a “/”.
The first pair, 256K/3072K, is your normal rx-rate (256K) and tx-rate (3072K).
The second pair is meant to be your burst rate, and as the first pair, it’s expressed in rx-rate/tx-rate.
The third pair is your burst threshold, and oddly enought, it is the same as your first pair, and I’m not sure if that will make burst be active full time, or if it will make it never to occur.
The numbers that follow means burst-time (2), priority on queue (8) and minimal bandwidth (0).
You can specify burst-time in a pair, like 2/2 or 2/4, but you used only one number and that means you have 2 seconds both for rx-burst-time and tx-burst-time.
Mikrotik will then constantly keep track of the bandwidth used in the last 2 seconds for both rx and tx rates, and if the average bandwidth used in the last 2 seconds is less then your burst-thershold (third pair), then mikrotik will use the speed specified as your burst rate (second pair), untill your average speed for the last 2 seconds reach your burst-thershold, then mikrotik will use your normal speed specified on the first pair.
The number “8” is the priority of the traffic for that client on the queue.
And the “0” is his minimal bandwidth, and zero then means he have no garanteed bandwidth. This is also can be specified as the first 3 pairs. He could have like 32k/256k, meaning he would have at least 32k of upload and 256k of download (mikrotik would try to ensure it on the queue).
