I was able to get Bandwidth tracking set up. Whether this was the correct way to do it or not I have NO IDEA, but this seems to be working for now:
For what it is worth, I have set the IP for each user in the DHCP Server>Leases, and then created a "Queue" list that has the MAC as the Name and the IP that was set for each machine in the DHCP Server. For some reason that I don't understand yet, and would hope someone here could clarify this for me, is why bandwidth tracking doesn't happen unless the "Total Que Type" is set to "Default.
This is the trouble I am having with the RouterOS documentation:
I look at what the Que Type is set to for 'default' and I see:
Name; default
Kind: pififo
Queue Size: 50 packets
. . . I have no idea what that means at all, and the manual doesn't explain that at all !
I don't need to be spoon fed, and I am willing to learn, but
WHERE do I find out what things like this mean, and why when a 'Simple Queue' is set up with the default setting for the "Que Type" of:
Name: default-small
Kind: pififo
Queue Size: 10 packets
. . . DOESN'T track bandwidth used. Only the packet size is different. I just don't get it.
Assistance would be appreciated. Thanks
