I use a simple queue for QoS. I understood from the diagrams in the Mikrotik documentation that it should equally divide bandwidth per stream and per device. But that doesn’t seem to be happening. It works OK to more or less equally distribute bandwidth between different devices. But on any given device it still allows a single application or monopolize the amount of bandwidth to that device. So if I have a large download (not using multiple connections) running on computer A, I can barely connect to any other internet services or even browse the web on that same machine as long as the download is running. Any tips?
with sfq you will have more a flow based bandwidth distribution than device distribution
with pcq you can have a flow based distribution when classifier use address and port by default uses only address with address classifier you will see device based distribution
always set max-limit at least 5% below your real bandwidth, in this way queue limit will act before your provider limit act queues only act when limit (congestion) is reached
hey,
thx for the quick reply, haven’t expected that
May I ask some quick questions (some might be silly but it got a bit late here )
a flow is a connection? A device can own multipole flows, e.g. these three ones simultaneously: browsing, downloading and video call.
Could it even be multiple ones using the same port?
As you say:
