Simple Queues and QoS

Currently we use simple queues to limit bandwidth for each subscriber. We add a target address (typically a /32), Max Limit upload/download, Limit At, queue type and
priority. Interface is left at all and priority is adjusted based on type of customer.
(Residential, business, etc.)

While we have fast backhauls, we are reaching the limits of our APs. So, we’d like to do some QoS to prioritize certain traffic. The problem is that when we setup Queue Trees, the bandwidth stops showing in the customers simple queues.

Any way we can get these to work together?

In reading the “best practices” in the wiki, it seems to imply that you can limit bandwidth based on IP or protocol but not both. How can we get both?

“best practice”: if you do not know, how simple queues cowork with queue tree - do not use it simultaneously

as for two-step limitimg - read http://mum.mikrotik.com/presentations/CZ09/QoS_Megis.pdf

That’s what I’m asking. How do you get them to work together? I read the PDF but it doesn’t really explain how to do it.

hmmm…

mark in prerouting - limit in global-in - re-mark in forward/postrouting - limit in global-out/interface queue
