Queue Tree not working with packet marks

RouterOS General
1

Hi,

I have noticed on one of my routers running V6.0rc13 that queue tree is not working correctly. For example i am marking packets destined for my voip service and i can clearly see voip packets being marked. When calls are being made in the network i can see the data rate in the statistics tab of my rule.

Mangle
Chain =Pre-Routing
Dst. Address = x.x.x.x
Action = Mark Packet
New Packet Mark = QOS_VoIP

My queue tree rule does not show any traffic what so ever though.

Parent = Global
Packet Marks = QOS_VoIP
Queue Type = Default
Priority 2

Has anyone else seen this?

Hi !

I´m getting no counting because I used also “Queue Type = Default”

Perhaps changing this to “ethernet-default” may help ?

(Just a thought … 8=) )

No difference i am afraid, although now i have been looking at it on my screen for a while it seems queue tree is totally stuck.

I cannot even reset the counters, and the average rate on one of my queues is stick on 15.0kbps. There is about 25Mb of traffic between 21 customers on this particular site.

Well, to be more specific - I´m counting traffic on DSL and UMTS-Client here for myself.

Perhaps you want to check out “simple queue” - to see if the packets are counted here correctly…

On my side this is running fine right now…

[admin@mikrotik.homenet] /queue simple> print
Flags: X - disabled, I - invalid, D - dynamic 
 0    name="DSL_Traffic" target=T-Online PPPoE via PPPoE-Bridge IPv4 parent=none
      packet-marks=DSL_in,DSL_out priority=8/8 
      queue=ethernet-default/ethernet-default limit-at=0/0 max-limit=0/0 
      burst-limit=0/0 burst-threshold=0/0 burst-time=0s/0s 
      total-queue=ethernet-default 

 1    name="UMTS_Traffic" target=PPP-UMTS parent=none 
      packet-marks=UMTS_in,UMTS_out priority=8/8 
      queue=ethernet-default/ethernet-default limit-at=0/0 max-limit=0/0 
      burst-limit=0/0 burst-threshold=0/0 burst-time=0s/0s 
      total-queue=ethernet-default

target is the client-port of PPPoE…

and “PPP-UMTS” is for UMTS-USB-Modem

Here´s my config for mangle

Flags: X - disabled, I - invalid, D - dynamic 
 0   ;;; Throughput via DSL
     chain=postrouting action=mark-packet new-packet-mark=DSL_out 
     passthrough=yes out-interface=T-Online PPPoE via PPPoE-Bridge IPv4 

 1   chain=prerouting action=mark-packet new-packet-mark=DSL_in passthrough=ye>
     in-interface=T-Online PPPoE via PPPoE-Bridge IPv4 

 2   ;;; Throughput via UMTS
     chain=postrouting action=mark-packet new-packet-mark=UMTS_out 
     passthrough=yes out-interface=PPP-UMTS 

 3   chain=prerouting action=mark-packet new-packet-mark=UMTS_in 
     passthrough=yes in-interface=PPP-UMTS

So I suppose you have to change the output-port to your IP-address…

Just forgot - I read in some place that this mangle-rules MUST be in first place…

same problem here.

RouterOS : v 6.xx 64bit

Same here. Something is really broken with queues and mangle

Except I’m using a “release” version (6)

Hi all!
I’ve had the same problem.
And I even know the source: http://wiki.mikrotik.com/images/2/24/Packetflowv6.png
According to new packet flow it uses queue BEFORE prerouting.
So the incoming packets are marked after passing thru queue.
So there’s no way to mark packets that come from interface, only (pre/post)routing and forward marks are processed.
I’ve tried to mark packets in input chain - no luck there(rule won’t work in input)…
It was because of forwarding >_<

So marking in prerouting/forward/postrouting is right choice, just make sure these packets won’t be re-marked.
