Simple queue and V6 help

I’m playing around with the v6.2 and I’m confused about how to migrate some of my previous config to use the simple queue to do some bandwidth management per user.


Let’s say I have on eth1 my WAN and multiple LAN on the other eth.

My goal is to create a rule to limit the bandwidth going to/from the WAN, but to leave unlimited between LAN.

If I’m creating one simple queue like:

Target: eth2
Dst: eth1
Target Upload: Max limit 1M
Target Download: Max Limit 10M


When I’m trying from eth2 to connect on the WAN, I’m limited on upload and download at 10M. The 1M limit is not working.

The wiki hasn’t really helped me as it is mostly based on v5.xx examples and the v6.x infos are few.
What I am missing here? Look like a simple straightforward setup.
Or should I create two queues, one for upload, one for download? Then why do we have both upload/download possible in the same rule?

nobody?
