hi,

Any configuration help from anyone ?

Hi,

Material below taken from http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/PCQ_Examples , edited to meet your needs.

There are two ways how to make this: using mangle and queue trees, or, using simple queues.

  1. Mark all packets with packet-mark all:

/ip firewall mangle add chain=prerouting action=mark-packet new-packet-mark=all passthrough=no

  1. Setup two PCQ queue types - one for download and one for upload. dst-address is classifier for user’s download traffic, src-address for upload traffic:

/queue type add name=“PCQ_download” kind=pcq pcq-rate=1024k pcq-classifier=dst-address
/queue type add name=“PCQ_upload” kind=pcq pcq-rate=256k pcq-classifier=src-address

  1. Finally, two queue rules are required, one for download and one for upload:

/queue tree add parent=global-in queue=PCQ_download packet-mark=all
/queue tree add parent=global-out queue=PCQ_upload packet-mark=all

If you don’t like using mangle and queue trees, you can skip step 1 just do step 2 and step 3 would be to create one simple queue as shown here:

/queue simple add queue=PCQ_upload/PCQ_download target-addresses=10.5.0.0/24

I would prefer to go through http://wiki.mikrotik.com as it has much more enhanced exampled of bandwidth restrictions.
