Are there any more P2P formats that can't be limited and should be dropped?

Or maybe...I just need to create a simple rule with mail server as the "Target Address" and the limits set to "unlimited", AND make it the first rule in the list. DUH!

Use mangle and queue tree

Regars

So...just mangle all traffic outbound for the email server and create an unlimited queue?

This new queue will have a higher priority then the simple queues?

I have 2 Ethernet port “bridged” MT acting as a Bandwidth Control Unit, limiting traffic by IP address via simple queues. My email server is on another network. I have the email server's IP address and I'm using the standard ports; 110 and 25. How can I continue to control all NON-email traffic but ...

OK, got it. I used “/tool e-mail set” to enter my SMTP and account. I changed my System>Scheduler script to... /system backup save name=backup (creating the same file name each time) /queue simple export file=queues /tool e-mail send to="me@mydomain.net" subject=Backup file=backup.backup /...

I'm attempting to email my daily MT backups to an email account. I have studied the Wiki and read posts here in the forum. I'm running 2.9.23 and using Winbox as much as possible. In Winbox I have created a System>Scheduler script... /system backup save /queue simple export file=queues ...which runs...

Man "Idvaden", you are a BIG supporter of the MikroTik “community” I'm poking fun at you but you're right. It's amazing what a dedicated community of people can do. And the software is no slouch either. As I said before, options at every new turn and what a great price. Thank you for takin...

Cover it with a "cloak of un-connectability"

Sorry, couldn't help it.

Can you be more specific?

If I follow your logic then in parent=ether2...ether2 should be changed to reflect the Public/Internet/WAN interface. In this case ether1.

But the rest is correct?

Marking the p2p traffic and funneling ONLY THE P2P TRAFFIC through a PCQ should achieve your objective. Using said technique you can allocate say 15 Kbps for upload of p2p and say 290 Kbps for download of p2p; if there is one subscriber doing p2p, they will get all of that bandwidth; if there are t...

It is neat to see how many options RouterOS has hidden away.

Just wish the options where explained better somewhere.

Idvaden, thank you for your post. I'm not looking a gift horse in the mouth, your help is appriciated. I'm still hoping someone can explain the P2P settings for simple queues. I'm using version 2.9.23. Via WinBox, on the “Advanced” tab, I find P2P settings. When I set up a Simple Queue for an IP add...

I have searched for “P2P” and read most of the posts. Everyone explains ways to Mangle P2P traffic and create Queue Tree queues, but no is addressing the P2P setting in Simple Queues. I have 550 individual simple queues created, one for each client. Why don't I use "Queue Tree" queues, you...

Can anyone answer this question?
