Hi, I have entered the following rules into a Mikrotik unit in order to improve VoIP quality on a busy network…
/ip firewall mangle
add chain=forward src-address=nnn.nnn.nnn.0/24 action=mark-packet new-packet-mark=VoIP
passthrough=no comment=“VoIP” disabled=no
add chain=forward dst-address=nnn.nnn.nnn.0/24 action=mark-packet new-packet-mark=VoIP
passthrough=no comment=“VoIP” disabled=no
/ queue tree
add name=“ether1_voip” parent=ether1 packet-mark=VOIP limit-at=0 queue=default priority=2
max-limit=0 burst-limit=0 burst-threshold=0 burst-time=0s disabled=no
…the packet count is increasing in both directions and so this seems to have had some effect.
My question is, is it enough to have this rule in only or does an additional rule need to be created for the other types of traffic so that the Mikrotik can differentiate the VoIP traffic from everything else?
