I have a RouterOS in a PC working as a traffic shapper, like the example given in the wiki.
I want to do shape traffic in this way:
1- having different groups of users classified by address lists in /firewall/address_lists
2- have traffic priorization on the whole network depending on ports (ex http high priority)
3- apply different speed limits to clients depending on the address lists they are in
i know it is possible to do something like this. But i´m lost, i don´t know where to start. Any ideas?
Do you think this is a good idea to implement that policy in a medium size network? (i´m a wisp with 150clients).
Kolorosta, yes it is very good and logical policy for the medium network.
The particular examples are covered at the MikroTik advanced training for the QoS, http://training.mikrotik.com
Such kind of example is covered in details.
Shortly, configuration scenario should be like this,
create few groups with mangle and address-list.
use previosly created mangle marks (they should come from chain=prerouting) to set limit for the clients. Probably PCQ will be more effective to equalize/limit data between the clients. PCQ configuration examples are available at the documentation and wiki.
create additional mangle rules for priority, these rules are added at chain=forward, limit-at and max-limit-at are not required for priority rules. Add these rules to queue simple and use local/remote interfaces for configuration.

when you say “use local/remote interfaces for configuration” what do you mean. in simple queue only apear:
all
ether1
ether2
bridge1
Which should i use?
remember that i have a transparent traffic shapper (like suggested in the wiki)
and when you say “limit-at and max-limit-at are not required for priority rules”, you mean that i have to leave them setted as “unlimited” or i have to disable them unchecking the checkbox?
if you say that i should leave the checkboxes checked and setted in “unlimited”, what queue type should i use?
What queue type should i use in total?
thanks in advance
your configuration scenario was very helpful for me…
sergejs, if i publish the configuration (code and if you want, images too) can you take a look at it… if you think it’s all right, i will publish it step by step (uhh babyyyy ) how i accomplish in case it is useful to someone else.
Yeah, it wold be! But i have posted some configuration in post “queue tree priorities” but no one answered. I don/t know why - if there is real problem or questions with MikroTik - no one can/want to answer?!
