Hi,

does anyone know what the "Total" tab under a Simple Queue does exactly?


I can set limits here as well. But to what does the "Total" refer?
And I can set this for each simple Queue - "multiple totals" seem strange to me...

MT wiki is not clear:

And corresponding options for global-total HTB queue:

But this gives no explanation when to use and when to not use it. Or in which relation these limits are against the General/Advanced limits...

Thanks

have you played with that? on wiki sayang (i picked one of them)

"total-limit-at (NUMBER/NUMBER): corresponds to limit-at"

so try: /queue simple add limit-at=2m/1m total-limit-at=3m/2m or other way around.
Of course, you have to fill the rest of max limit,
burst if you want

however, they should be related each other

Just i did some testing.
From what i can see total-max-limit has priority than max-limit,i think that is all about.

e.g.
/queue simple
add max-limit=5M/5M name=queue1 target=192.168.88.2 total-max-limit=2M

Limitation would be on 2m, and its same for all parameters.

Just use your imagination where and how you will implement this.

Hi,

thanks, yes I played with it, but its not clear to me.

MT writes (in their wiki) about the total-stuff:

And corresponding options for global-total HTB queue:

I know, the global queue stuff is related with Queue Trees - not Simple Queues.

This is stated here too: and: You see, the "HTB global (Queue Tree)" is always prior the Simple Queues.

It makes sense that the Total limts have priority of the General/Advaned limits, because they are in the Packet Flow prior the Simple Queues.

But what are the reasons to set the limits in the Total tab insed of the General/Advanced tab? They are processed one step prior the Simple Queues. But are there advantages or disadvantages? We know, Queue Trees use a single CPU-core only. Is this (Total) related to the single-core-limitation of the Queue-Trees?

Or is this for Parent/Child scenarios? The Parent with limits under the Total tab and Child with limits under the General/Advanced tab?
