Hello!
What's the point of giving your users mode bandwith in the 1st minute?

A queue burst allows the user peak data rates higher then the queue limit. The burst is permanent, it 'renews' itself when the user's average data rate becomes lower than burst-threshold.

You can read how queue bursts work at:

I use the burst on my customer queues so web browsing and email seem very fast. This traffic is usually light and in short bursts. As soon as they start moving large amounts of data, like downloading files, it throttles them back to the speed they pay for. I give them 150% for 90 seconds. I set this a little longer for new customers during their first month so they can download all the Windows updates they need.

I have been using PPPoE, and assign customers IPs and then in there profiles they have the speed limit. HOwever, it does not have the bursting abilities.

Would I have to setup a mangle rule for traffic to there IP, and then setup a queue with bursting? I also want them to bust to 1meg but then after a min, drop to the speed they pay for, i.e. 256 or 512?

Exactly.

1) make ppoe tunnel
2) make mangle rule to match traffic
3) setup custom queue type (PCQ with right rates/classifiers)
4) add a queue to the queue tree

We may add a burst setting for PPPoE clients, but at the moment we will not add it for PCQ as it will require a big rewrite.
