Simple Queues tx/rx

RouterOS General
1

Using simple queues on my home mikrotik router, I was unable to limit upload bandwidth.. the download bandwidth works fine and limits like it is supposed to but uploads remain uncapped.

here’s my queue config:

# oct/29/2005 11:32:18 by RouterOS 2.9.6
# software id = 
#
/ queue simple 
add name="guest-queue" target-addresses=10.100.2.0/28 dst-address=0.0.0.0/0 \
    interface=guest-ap parent=none priority=8 queue=default/default \
    limit-at=0/0 max-limit=64000/128000 total-queue=default disabled=no

guest-ap is a virtualAP interface this is an unencrypted open network.. All clients on guest-ap are fed by the dhcp server listening on that interface, 10.100.2.1/28..

Traffic is masqueraded if that makes any difference.. but everything I’ve done was according to the simple queue example in the manual.. Any idea’s why uploads aren’t limited?

ahh.. nevermind I answered my own question..

I forgot you can’t use simple queues and the queue tree together.. once i disabled my queue tree rules the simple queue behaved as it should..
