RB450G running 5.13. Internet connection is DSL, with the RB450G establishing the link via a PPPoE interface.
My goal is to have a queue that prioritizes traffic in both directions to/from one particular LAN IP address, during business hours. My problem is that while the queue counters indicate packets flowing through the queue, the connectivity at the one priority IP address does not seem to be receiving a benefit from the prioritization. Activity from other addresses on the LAN is reducing the performance of the one prioritized address. I would appreciate any feedback. Thanks.
Here is the queue config:
