Simple Queue Bandwidth Distribution

RouterOS General
1

Hi All,

I would like to get some clarity on simple queues.

So lets say I have created a Parent Simple Queue (PQ1) with 100Mbps Upload/100Mbps Download max limit allocated. Queue type is pcq-u/d/default.
Then I have 4 queues created with the parent queue set as PQ1.
Q1 = 100Mbps
Q2 = 50Mbps
Q3 = 25Mbps
Q4 = 10Mbps

If all 4 of these queues should try and max their download at the same time, how would bandwidth be distributed between these 4 queues?

What I am looking at getting answers for is, do I have to create a Parent queue for each speed tier, or would bandwidth be fairly distributed between different speed tiers done at the client queue level?

Thank you

That one is in the manual and can’t be answered

https://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:Queues_-_PCQ#PCQ_Rate_Examples

It must noted that if both limits (pcq-rate and max-limit) are unspecified, queue behavior can be imprecise. So it is strongly suggested to have at least one of these options set.

l suspect you want individual PCQ trees not one parent but hard to guess what you are trying to do.
