Hi guys:
I’m quite new to the mikrotik so please bear with me. I wanted to set-up QoS management for prioritizing game packets. I’m in a rut however, as most of the games actually INCREASED ping from 90-100ms up to 500 ms when I add in my mikrotik. So this actually had a negative impact to my network than just using QoS on my ISP’s router. What am I doing wrong here?
Below is the script i used to set up my QoS: (and yes I found this on the internet and have basic understanding of how this script works):
/queue tree
add limit-at=9700k max-limit=9700k name=queue1 parent=ether1-gateway queue=default
add limit-at=6200k max-limit=6200k name=prio5-streaming packet-mark=streaming parent=queue1 priority=5 queue=default
add limit-at=100k max-limit=9500k name=prio8-untagged packet-mark=no-mark parent=queue1 queue=default
add limit-at=1G max-limit=1G name=prio3-gaming packet-mark=gaming parent=queue1 priority=3 queue=default
add limit-at=1G max-limit=1G name=prio2-misc-fast packet-mark=misc-fast parent=queue1 priority=2 queue=default
add limit-at=100k max-limit=9500k name=prio6-http packet-mark=http parent=queue1 priority=6 queue=default
/ip firewall mangle
add action=mark-packet chain=postrouting connection-mark=streaming new-packet-mark=streaming passthrough=no
add action=mark-packet chain=postrouting connection-mark=gaming new-packet-mark=gaming passthrough=no
add action=mark-packet chain=postrouting new-packet-mark=misc-fast packet-size=40 passthrough=no protocol=tcp tcp-flags=ack
add action=mark-packet chain=postrouting dst-port=53 new-packet-mark=misc-fast out-interface=ether1-gateway passthrough=no protocol=udp
add action=mark-packet chain=postrouting connection-mark=http new-packet-mark=http passthrough=no
add action=mark-connection chain=postrouting comment=Streaming connection-state=new dst-port=1935 new-connection-mark=streaming out-interface=ether1-gateway protocol=tcp
add action=mark-connection chain=postrouting comment=League dst-port=5000-5500 new-connection-mark=gaming out-interface=ether1-gateway protocol=udp
add action=mark-connection chain=postrouting comment=SC2 dst-port=1119 new-connection-mark=gaming out-interface=ether1-gateway protocol=udp
add action=mark-connection chain=postrouting comment=HotS dst-port=1120,3724 new-connection-mark=gaming out-interface=ether1-gateway protocol=udp
add action=mark-connection chain=postrouting comment=“BW + HotS” dst-port=6112-6113 new-connection-mark=gaming out-interface=ether1-gateway protocol=udp
add action=mark-connection chain=postrouting comment=“Valve Games” dst-port=27000-27060 new-connection-mark=gaming out-interface=ether1-gateway protocol=udp
add action=mark-connection chain=postrouting comment=“Web Browsing” connection-state=new dst-port=80,443 new-connection-mark=http out-interface=ether1-gateway protocol=tcp
And yes I have adjusted everything to my network speed etc. So there should not be any mis-types here.
Checking through my winbox I see that only gaming packets and http packets get marked, misc-fast packets don’t seem to get marked:
and there is certainly no congestion…
What am I doing wrong??
