Queue-Statistics

RouterOS General

hardware RB450
OS 5.19 (did same on 5.16)

I use a queue tree on each interface of the 450 with queues for each of 4 classes of traffic based on
Packet marks applied by IP Firewall Mangle tagging. (Based on a config from the wiki.)

I see both packets and bytes counting up in the mangle but the queue tree is showing no bytes/packets
in the classes or even the parent queue. According to the “Queue List → Queue Tree” there has never been
a packet leave the RB. There are no simple queues and the Interface Queues are at the original default.

I have used this configuration in over a dozen RB’s. (Enough that I have a script to apply it.)
I have two recent RB450 with this problem.

Other than the lack of statistics everything seems to be working normally but I can’t tell if the class would function
to provide QOS policing as configured since the traffic is too low to be needed.

Anybody have any ideas of what’s happening?
Thanks.

This queue tree does not give any statistics however a seemingly identical one does.

use “export compact” or tell what’s the difference between working and non-working tree

5

Two “core” devices configured essentially identical except
for the ip address and the link into the tower. They are connected side by side.
Both handle traffic but one does not show traffic counts on the queue tree but does show
traffic counts on the interfaces. The other shows both.

Note both had 5.17 originally. export compact below slightly edited to remove sensitive
info. RB1 works normally, RB2 does not.
