wmm on the new beta7

Dear MT,

how to configure it?
How to select what traffic has to go into the 4 traffic’s classes?

[admin@Core2DuoB] /interface wireless> set wlan1 wmm-support=
WmmSupport ::= disabled | enabled | required

there is set-priority in firewall mangle and in bridge firewall, that you can use to set the priority from 0 to 7.

wmm defines the standard mapping of these priorities to the traffic classes.

if the ap handle only pppoe traffic,
howto mangle different kind of traffic?

regards
Rosario

priorities explained:

1,2 = background
0,3 = best effort
4,5 = video
6,7 = voice

explain, do you wish to prioritise traffic inside pppoe connections, or you wish to prioritize pppoe as such?

i need to prioritse traffic inside pppoe tunnel. Thanks

what if the tunnel is encrypted or compressed?

no encryption, no compression.

if you terminate the pppoe tunnels in the router, then it’s possible. if you forward the pppoe to some other server, you can maybe use vlans to set the priorities.

may you elaborate a little more?

I can set COS value for my voip traffice inside the pppoe client (that is a sipura voip-router). Should this help in catching the traffic in bridge filter?

Hi Normis, can you explain more about this feature? is need a special CPE type to support WMM or is indifferent?
More info please
Thanks :wink:

I think a great support will be to have a howto configure wmm for this configuration:

voip router doing pppoe client connected to CPE configured in Bridge (wds) or pseudobridge, Ap doing pppe concentrator.

In the bandwidth control manual it states that 8 is the lowest priority and 1 is the highest. So which one is correct?

Priority provided in queues is something different (it is different approach for QoS), queues priority is only used by router locally and it could be maintained by other routers.

Do not mix priority of queues with priority assigned to packets. Priorities of
queues work separately and specify “importance” of queue and has meaning only
within particular queue setup. Think of packet priority as of some kind of
mark, that gets attached to packet by rules. Also take into account that this
mark currently is only used for outgoing packets when going over WMM enabled
link, and in case VLAN tagged packet is sent out (no matter if that packet is
tagged locally or bridged).

“Set priority” is not present into the ip firewall mangle rules of 2.9.42 so I have to upgarde the main pppoe concentrator to have wmm working on the AP…
:frowning:

Yes, that’s true.

please, may you add a way to monitor the traffic that goes into the different classes.
This should be very usfull to check that your wmm configuration is working.

Hope to see it asap.

And as the wiki says:

Mikrotik AP and client classifies packets based on priority assigned to them, according to table…

So, seems that both AP and Client sides must be MT ROS with WMM support enabled on wireless to get it working. Also a correct rules setup is needed. I think this should be obvious at this point. But dunno if another device that supports WMM as client would work with MT ROS AP. Perhaps someone could confirm this, Normis?
