Winbox queue list

jp1 · February 23, 2006, 3:40pm

What do the colors indicate on the little icons to the left of the name of the queue in the queue tree tab? This is in 2.9.13. The MT 2.9 documentation is pretty brief for winbox, and the only place in the queueing documentation where colors are used is the theory illustrations of the queing methods. The queue is not disabled.

Thanks!

Green - Q not full
Yellow - Q nearing capicity
Red - Q is overflowing and limiting is taking place

Hope this answers you question

green - queue traffic is below limit-at level

yellow - queue borrows traffic from the parrent queue

green - queue traffic is on max-limit level

I think…
Green - Q connect
Yellow - Q wait to disconnect
Red - Q disconnect
ihop is rigth…

nop, it’s not!

MikroTik Manual:

Each HTB class can be in one of 3 states, depending on data rate that it consumes:

green - a class the actual rate of which is equal or less than limit-at. At this state, the class is attached to self slot at the corresponding priority at its level, and is allowed to satisfy its limit-at limitation regardless of what limitations its parents have. For example, if we have a leaf class with limit-at=512000 and its parent has max-limit=limit-at=128000, the class will get its 512kbps!

yellow - a class the actual rate of which is greater than limit-at and equal or less than max-limit. At this state, the class is attached to the inner slot of the corresponding priority of its parent’s inner feed, which, in turn, may be attached to either its parent’s inner slot of the same priority (in case the parent is also yellow), or to its own level self slot of the same priority (in case the parent is green). Upon the transition to this state, the class ‘disconnects’ from self feed of its level, and ‘connects’ to its parent’s inner feed

red - a class the actual rate of which exceeds max-limit. This class cannot borrow rate from its parent class

Excellent - thanks for the quick responses

Actually it’s all wrong. It is like this: When you make a queue, and it starts matching packets - the packets are starting be be queued (like: put in waiting line), so when the queue starts to fill up, it shows you Yellow colour in winbox when it is half-empty. If the packets are then filling up the queue entirely and packets are starting to get dropped, then it turns RED and it means that your queue is too small.

edit: macgaiver used the wrong explanation for a different thing
