We use simple queues in our Mikrotiks. I’m looking at switching to queue tree’s. Reading some of the documentation online (specifically the QOS best practices pdf) about the matter, I don’t see any way to classify multiple IP’s or a subnet into one connection.
For instance,
We have business customers to whom we will assign multiple IP’s or route an entire subnet to them. From my understanding PCQ will treat each IP as a different connection, thus allowing the subscriber to transfer at (rate * number of IP’s).
Are perhaps more clearly. I’m looking to do what target-address does for simple queues. Where you can define multiple IP’s or whole ranges that are classified into a single queue and share that queues max transfer.
Queue trees rely on packet marks as triggers. You can mark traffic from/to multiple IP addresses (probably based on firewall address lists) with the same packet marks, and have them all go through the same queue.
I’m bumping this because I’m trying to do this now.
I basically want any IP that is 10.x.x.x to have their packets market using mangle. But then I want any of those 10.x.x.x ip’s to use a PCQ with a limit with those packet marks.
What I’m seeing is instead of for example 10.1.1.1 and 10.1.1.2 and 10.1.1.3 all having each 512k, it is giving 10.x.x.x/8 all a total of 512k.
I understand in the new 5.x releases it gives a little more control over the target subnets you want to PCQ is this correct?
