Simple queue for interface to emulate low bandwidth

Sun Apr 07, 2024 1:07 am

Hello.

I have a 1Gb uplink and decided to switch to 100Mb. Before doing so, I want to give it a try.
So, my idea was to create a simple queue rule with my uplink interface as target and set upload/download limit there.
/queue/simple/add name="good_old_2010" target=if_uplink max-limit=100M/100M 
Is it correct? Will it limit all connections or does it set limit for one particular stream?

PS: I think I was able to proof it with `iperf3` (excellent tool!) and it seems to work, but I still look for any comment:)

I'm assuming the uplink is the WAN interface, then, yes, it works for traffic going through that port (ether1 by default). However, in this case, upload/download limits are reversed (only matters if the link is non-symmetrical). You can also limit the bridge or the LAN (192.168.88.0/24 or whatever local subnet you use).
