Prerouting vs Forward

RouterOS General
1

Hi all,

How is the difference between the chains Prerouting and Forwarding?

I just read the http://www.mikrotik.com/docs/ros/2.9/ip/flow, but I’ve some doubts… I’ll be grateful if somene can explain this to me.

What’s the best one to do the QoS in a bridged Mikrotik box?

Thanks

PREROUTING is the chain where things like Masquerade or SRC NAT are defined.

Every packet that is forwarded by the router to another location goes through the FORWARD chain. In order to do a port forward, or NAT/Masquerade, a packet must also go through FORWARD.
