Most enlightened specialists here seem to prefer keeping their secrets to themselves, not sharing proper configs, leaving many ISPs running MT crippled worldwide. It’s actually funny
Try yourself and post your progress, but remember to export and paste /ip firewall mangle and /ip firewall address-lists and /queue or the entire router configuration, so that someone could comment on it.
I am trying to do this just right since the year of 2004 and MT version 2.9.6. and
these are two-three months old - there is new light being shined by those NOW. As well as that incomplete PDF.
I have spent entire months of my free time - not getting enough sleep, etc etc to try and figure out what in the name of Jesus do they mean in the manual testing numerous misconfigurations - test after test - not working Now with the new manual in the wiki and that PDF I might just succeed in my config, after 4+ years
Yes, a ready MikroTik example, like in that PDF, but with the full info - the entire presentation including the voice, would be nice. Would save a lot of time. Money. Health. Frustration. Anger. etc.
It’s actually sad
p.s. by the way, I am aiming for a complex config. - something like in the PDF - the QoS implemented over the already working PCQ.
Normis, pal, sorry for my funny words. I have not slept tonight, reading MikroTik manuals, PDFs, and forums. I may be a little dizzy.
If I wanna prioritize traffic like describe in the last page of janism Pdf (see at http://mum.mikrotik.com/presentations/US08/janism.pdf ) do I need to mangle dns, www, ftp traffic for every lans?
Someone may give me an brief example applied to this lan schema?
In order to have control over the traffic in your described setup, you need need to know what traffic can go out a certain port of your router and set up mangle for ALL of it. You must not miss one packet that can go out that port. And setup a queue that gives priority to Internet traffic you want. This can be done in one Queue Tree with, for example, a child for local-to-local traffic and a child for internet traffic. The child for Internet traffic can have subqueues to arrange QoS etc. The Parent of all must have proper max-limit set. You can determine your max-limit with some sort of speedtest, do not trust the advertised speed of ports etc. since now bandwidth is dependent on a lot of things, like - how many firewall and mangle rules you have, what CPU etc. etc.
Please post more info about your setup, how many ports, etc. etc.
This isn’t my problem. I have fully simmetric bandwidth.
So the question is: how to setup priority like pp 29-32 of janus pdf in a network like image of first post of this topic and with traffic shaping queues like http://lnx.zenfamily.it/progetti/routerOS ?
I think that correct strategy is:
mangle traffic type according to janus p. 29
create a set of sub queues managing this priority (like: /queue tree add name=‘esign_services’ packet-mark=esign_services limit-at=0 queue=default priority=1 max-limit=0 burst-limit=0 burst-threshold=0 burst-time=0s )
set this set as child of every lan queues that shape lan’s traffic
It’s actually sad
