Hey all.
We’re implementing some queue tree config on a client device and are running into some strange behaviour. The download part of the tree works fine under all tested conditions. However, the upload part of the tree appears to only function when Torch is running within winbox. Yes I know this sounds mad, so I’ve recorded a quick screen2gif by way of proof!
When we invoke Torch on any interface the queue named studysafe_upload (and therefore total_upload) operate as expected. As soon as the Torch interface is closed the queue fails to recognise all of the traffic.
Is this a fault on our config somewhere or is there something more sinister happening here?
The config on the device is:
