We have a slow ADSL line.
I want to limit the download speed for the user which downloads all the time something,
and therefore he slows down the e-mail and other traffic of other users.
I have used simple queue for this, but I see that the packet-rate of incoming packets
on the pppoe interface is still very high, and there is a lot of resent packets.
I read that the traffic limit in RouterOS works so that he drops the incoming packets.
Can someone please explain me:
why, if I drop incoming packets (for one user) that already have arrived the router
this could be good for other users ?
You know what I mean ?
If we have a ADSL line with for example max. 6Mbps download, and
if one user starts the download of the Linux ISO image of few GB, and the server starts
to send this file to our router with the speed of for example 4Mbps,
how dropping packets on our router reduces the packet flow from the ADSL line ?
Thanks!
