Hi!

I have now some trouble to setup bandwith limiting so, that user have the bandwidth more than they limited in case of empty channel. Let me explain dataily:

Interfaces: WAN, LAN, vlan1, vlan2, vlan3 (vlans of LAN).

vlan1 limit - 1MBit (up/down)
vlan2 limit - 2MBit
vlan3 limit - 3MBit

WAN possibility (and limit) - 5MBit.

So I want to allow vlan1 use up to 2 mb, vlan2 up to 3 mb and vlan3 up to 5mb in case if this bandwidth available. I think that this is a max-limit setting for simpe queues, but what to do with different user interfaces?

Thanks,
Gosha.

Taking a guess here, but....

Limit WAN to 5/5
Limit VLANs to 1/1, 2/2, 3/3 (whatever rate you want), max-limit at 5/5

Each interface will be limited to the rate specified at limit-at (on the vlan interfaces), and they will use a max-limit of 5/5 only IF it is available on the WAN.

The limit on the WAN should not be needed, but I always prefer to put it in, as QoS should work better when it knows how much bandwidth is available at the uplink, IMHO.

Basically, you're on the right path, you just need to assign these queues on the VLAN interfaces, not the WAN interface.
See, http://www.mikrotik.com/docs/ros/2.9/root/queue (Queue Trees), for one...

Thanks for the answer!
I made a scheme like this but this does not works.
What queues I have to use? Maybe we can write a sample small queue script?
For example:

WAN ip is 60.70.80.1/30
vlan1 ip is 192.168.0.1/24 (masquaraded)
vlan2 ip is 192.168.1.1/24 (masqueraded)
vlan3 ip is 60.70.90.1/25 (real)

?

Well, if all the limiting is going to be done on a per interface level, simple queues should be fine....

In this case this will not know about "parent bandwidth" - 5/5 (parent=none), these queues on different interfaces and should not work, or am I wrong?

It will limit the interface speed to limit-at=, and it will burst when bandwidth is available to max-limit.

Talking under correction, specify a queue similar to these for the WAN interface, and use the WAN queue as a perant.... Try it and see what happens, should work fine.

OK, I have similar situation here:

1 ADSL line 1Mbit

adsl router ---> MT-eth1-public--MT-wirelessAP--->clients

Now I want to have following scenario:

1 group of users sharing 256kbit line
1 group of users sharing 512kbit line

Can I do it the following way?

1) setting up 1 parent simiple queue on eth1 with full bandwidth - max-limit 1Mbit (dunno if it makes sense to set bursts as 1mbit is limit of ISP anyway)

2) setting up 2 queues, 1 for 256kbit, second one for 512kbit. OK, now the questions:

- how to set-it up correctly? e.g. talking 256kbit - I want to guarantee those 256kbit to the group of ppl they will pay for it. Should I use it for the "limit-at"? OK, but otoh I don't want them to have more, so can I set "max-limit" to 256kbit too? Will it work? What about bursts?

- how to set kind of set-up, when you allow the group to use spare bandwidth, if available, but limit them, if not available? Or does it work this way automatically, if linked to parent class?

Thanks,
