Very familiar with linux tc, new to mikrotik queues.
Under what conditions is it necessary to specify the size of the incoming pipe so that the queuing system ‘grabs’ the queue from
the upstream? I understand that certain qdiscs only kick in when the pipe is full otherwise there is no need for the shaping. Thus one has to specify the pipe size at something less than the actual pipe size to help create that artificial queue.
Seems to me that simple queues do not require this, these seem to create queues of their own regardless of full pipe.
Seems to be that any form of traffic max limiting does not require grabbing the queue as max limiting is made of simple queues anyhow
But perhaps any form of guaranteeing minimum bandwidth does require grabbing the queue, as one needs to take bandwidth away from some queues to give it to others. This is only necessary when the pipe is full.
I got this right?
