Hi,
I am the IT manager for an engineering company. We mainly handle large cloud based CAD files so we have a decent internet connection 50/20Mbps.
My background is cisco but I’m starting to get into mikrotik as I find it actually fun to use and always keen to learn new vendors and what not.
I’m trying to prioritise our voip traffic.
I have a HAP Lite as my router. Port 1 connects to my ISP using PPPOE.
Port 5 goes to my main switch with 12 work stations connected plus our private wi-fi network.
Port 4 is connected to our VOIP system. ( These are not bridged ports and are routed seperatly).
I want to prioritise my voip system / traffic.
What I have done is created two simple queues:
/queue simple
add max-limit=20M/50M name=Internet priority=2/2 target=ether5
add max-limit=1M/1M name=voip priority=1/1 target=ether4
So the internet queue limits ether5 to 20/50Mbps and with a priority of 2/2
The voip queue limits ether4 to 1/1Mbps and with a priority of 1/1.
So in theory this should prioritise ether4 over ether5.
Is seems to work fine but I’m wondering if this is the most effective / efficient way of doing it in my particular scenario? (It seems too simple and I feel like i’m missing something)
Thanks,
