Ok I’m convinced, I need to setup queues for better traffic management. I read a lot of post and wiki and certainly would like to keep it up to a fairly simple environment.
I tought using priorization without queues at first but, I do understand that this is relatively not efficient. So I would like to hand out a 64Kbs max download and 16Kbs upload to all users that connect to my Citrix farm (tcp 2598) and prio this to 1.
Can I use simple queue? Or should I go straight to a tree?

I used simple queue, and it’s work fine to me. Just do the easiest that worked.
Simple queues would be the easiest to set up, but it will come down to the number of rules that are required. If your set up requires a ton of simple queues, then the tree would be the way to go. This is mainly because simple queues are processed in the order that they appear, so potentially a packet needs to be processed through all of these rules before they are hit and are applied and this can take up a lot of resources/time depending on the number of rules. A tree is a lot more efficient because the seek times are much much less to find a rule that they fit.
Thanks guys,
I don’t have a lot of rule so I think I will strart with simple queues. I guess when they grow in numbers, then, I will rethink all of this but for now I wont use more than 8 to 10 rules for now.
Thank you very much!
I’ve a router with 1900 simple queue, and his CPU comes down.
I will try with queue tree.
PD: sorry, i’ve tried to upgrade your karma but I think I’ve mistaked
