Hi there,
I’m thinking about using Butch Evens QoS script for my hotspots and office traffic.
Has anyone got any comments on his script and how it performs, or is there anything else anyone would recommend?
Hello,
If you mean this script:
http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Voip
Then yes I have implemented and it works with a few modifictaion.
My VoIP provider uses IPSEC tunnel to them and I had to add to SIP_IN and SIP_OUT the adress of Remote VPN Server to the IPSEC remote network or I had huge ping times or timeouts when my line was at the Limit.
Don’t Forget to set Upload/Download Limit..I also use limit-at which if I understand it Right always reserves specified amount bandwidth
I have 5M/5M internet line and here is the script for QUEUES:
/queue tree
add burst-limit=0 burst-threshold=0 burst-time=0s disabled=no limit-at=512k
max-limit=5M name=IN parent=global-in priority=1
add burst-limit=0 burst-threshold=0 burst-time=0s disabled=no limit-at=512k
max-limit=4500k name=OUT parent=global-out priority=1
/queue type
set default kind=pfifo name=default pfifo-limit=50
set ethernet-default kind=pfifo name=ethernet-default pfifo-limit=50
set wireless-default kind=sfq name=wireless-default sfq-allot=1514 sfq-perturb=5
set synchronous-default kind=red name=synchronous-default red-avg-packet=1000
red-burst=20 red-limit=60 red-max-threshold=50 red-min-threshold=10
set hotspot-default kind=sfq name=hotspot-default sfq-allot=1514 sfq-perturb=5
set default-small kind=pfifo name=default-small pfifo-limit=10
/queue tree
add burst-limit=0 burst-threshold=0 burst-time=0s disabled=no limit-at=512k
max-limit=4500k name=SIP_IN packet-mark=SIP_IN parent=IN priority=5 queue=
ethernet-default
add burst-limit=0 burst-threshold=0 burst-time=0s disabled=no limit-at=512k
max-limit=4500k name=SIP_OUT packet-mark=SIP_OUT parent=OUT priority=1 queue=
default
add burst-limit=0 burst-threshold=0 burst-time=0s disabled=no limit-at=0 max-limit=
4500k name=ALL_ELSE_IN packet-mark=ELSE_IN parent=IN priority=8 queue=default
add burst-limit=0 burst-threshold=0 burst-time=0s disabled=no limit-at=0 max-limit=
5M name=ALL_ELSE_OUT packet-mark=ELSE_OUT parent=OUT priority=5 queue=default
Hope it helps!
If anyone else has any other scripts or suggestions for VoIP feel free to share

Hi thanks for your reply, but I was referring to this: http://blog.butchevans.com/2009/11/140/
I would like to hear from people using this script in this system.
bump.
Yes I purchased it from him and it works quite well. Works well if you don’t use the l7 stuff on a 450G.
How many users?
I’m looking to use his script in a hotspot setup for 50 users and also office/home eviroment (downloading/torrents/VoIP/email/http).
He just marks packets depending on the types (http, video dns, p2p etc) and classifies them with multiple priority levels. Also determines which type of traffic is considered interactive and non interactive and gives priority for interactive stuff.
I’ve had it working on a 450G with 300 customers on it but I had to disable the layer7 stuff.
Would you say it worth getting his script for the price of $200?
Thanks
I have it. But I’m getting some problems with multiple “LAN” interfaces.
I use it in a Bridge equipment (RB1000), with on “WAN” an a few “LAN” that are connected to different APs.
With this configuration, the traffiq in the queuetree is not matching the same that appears in the interface.
200$ would be worth it if he would implement it, ensure it works as specified, and kept it up to date. Also for that price he better be consulting you on what hardware to run it on to do the number of users you need.
In the end all it’s doing is traffic/pattern matching and you can do the same or get someone else to do the same. It all depends how granular you want it and how it ties into your network. I’m very weary of any “works for all” scripts for QoS. Every network is different and has its quirks and you can’t take a shotgun approach to it.
You are better either taking the time yourself, or paying your tech/IT/whoever to sit down and look at your network and build your QoS the way you need it. Traffic is always changing. If you know how you’re handling your traffic it’s also easy to just add or change a quick rule to adapt to the changes if needed. If you’re tied to a single script then you’re messing with things that you’re not all that familiar with and risk breaking it or making the problem worse.
Kinda the “Give a man a fish or teach a man to fish” mind frame. One is worth a heck of a lot more than the other.
hello,do you know another forum about RouterOS?
can you introduce some for me?
