QOS and Packet Marking

RouterOS General
1

I am marking all packets with a source or destination port of 3389(rdp)
Then I went into the queues and created a new queue that checks for the RDP packet. I see RDP connections but no traffic going through the RDP queue. I have 5 other types of packets I am marking and all of the other ones work. Do I have to restart or do anything before traffic should start showing up in that queue.

Here is the packet Mark

Chain = prerouting
Src Address = 192.168.0.0/16
Dst Address = 192.168.0.0/16
protocol 6(tcp)
Src Port = 3389
Action = mark packet
New Packet Mark = RDP

Chain = prerouting
Src Address = 192.168.0.0/16
Dst Address = 192.168.0.0/16
protocol 6(tcp)
DST Port = 3389
Action = mark packet
New Packet Mark = RDP

Queue General Tab
Name = RDP
Max Limit = 1200K for both download and upload

Queue Advanced Tab
Packet Marks = RDP
Interfaces = all

I belive there is an error in your marking config. If you specify Src Address = 192.168.0.0/16 and Dst Address = 192.168.0.0/16 then no packet will be marked, as packets with src AND dst address 192.168.0.0/16 won’t go thru router. They will communicate directly. Only if all conditions within one rule are TRUE the rule is applied. That’s how I understand it, please correct me if I’m wrong.

  1. you can use only one rule with any-port instead of two (src-port and dst-port)
  2. post the export of your queue config otherwise we cannot well understand

How do i do the export of the queue I am not a pro at these routers.

5

Open terminal then type

/queue export

and paste output there.

Basically I just want to prioritize RDP traffic these routers make that seem difficult maybe its because they dont work like any router i have configured.

8

any ideas?

9

Does counters in the queues statistics shows any traffic?
