The vast majority of the Mikrotik’s that we’ll be implementing in our business will be on client sites acting as gateways to the ISP at the specified location. We remotely connect to servers behind the routers and manage services via Web/VNC/VOIP, etc…
I have a couple of sites that are using every bit of their own upload which makes our connection to these locations very slow. I am interested in carving out a chunk of that upload from their location and dedicate it to VNC, or VOIP or which other service I need to use at a particular time. If I need to access the system via VNC, I’d like to dedicate, say, 256k to the connection to guarantee that I’m going to get a decent refresh rate, but when I’m not connected, that bandwidth should go back to the general upload pool. Same with the VOIP. If I’m on a call with a phone on that location, I want the bandwidth so the call is clear, but if there is no call being made, that bandwidth should be used elsewhere.
I’ve already marked some packets and the counters are counting. I’m not sure if I should use Simple Queues or Queue Tree in this case and how it should be set up. I’d appreciate any pointers on this. Our connection at the example location is 6mb download and 768 upload. I need to use the 768 upload as efficiently as possible.
lololol
