Queue

Please Review this simple queue :
name=“simple1” target-addresses=192.168.0.10/32 dst-address=0.0.0.0/0 interface=all parent=none direction=both priority=8 queue=default/default limit-at=0/0 max-limit=64k/64k burst-limit=0/0 burst-threshold=0/0 burst-time=0s/0s total-queue=default

What should be the download rate for the computer of ip 192.168.0.10 ??? and how should i test if this queue is working Sufficiently ???

Just download something :slight_smile: with and without the queue and you will see the difference.

The same the rate is not changing !!!

I’m saying that because my ISP is providing me with PRTG Traffic Grapher and i own 1 Mbps download speed dedicated bandwidth, I created simple queue with unlimited download and i downloaded a file, from the PRTG i can see the consumption of bandwidth even when i limited the queue with 64 kbps the same consumption was used !!!
any advice, I need to know if my Mikrotik is shaping the bandwidth.
Note: I’m not using my mikrotik as a NAT just routing and bandwidth shaping (Limiting Bandwidth).

If the traffic is indeed passing through your router from that IP address, then that simple queue should limit its throughput.

What you could do to check if the traffic is passing through your router is to add the following 2 filter rules:

/ip firewall filter add chain=forward src-address=192.168.0.10 action=passthrough comment="Traffic coming from 192.168.0.10"
/ip firewall filter add chain=forward dst-address=192.168.0.10 action=passthrough comment="Traffic going to 192.168.0.10"
  • Make sure that you move those 2 filter rules to the top.
    You could see activity by watching the Bytes column under IP → Firewall → Filter.

To see if the Queue is working, double-click that simple queue and go to the Traffic tab.

Thanks all, Thanks Panda,
I add the two Chain rules and I can see the activity of Byes passing through it, and the Bytes throught the Traffic Tap is the simple queue, the traffic is passing through Mikrotik router.
But I limit the rate to 64/64 Kbps and when I download the rate is more than 64 it’s about 100 Kps !!!
