I do have a RB and i would like to put a bandwidth Limit on the WAN interface to 10Mbps. This is pppoe-out1 and it is on eth1.
May i have some help please?

Code: Select all

/queue simple add dst=pppoe-out1 max-limit=10M/10M name=queue1 queue=default/default target=eth1

Thanks a lot for the reply. Apart forbthe queues code, do i need to add anything else on the firewall or anywhere else?

Nope, but I misread your original post a little, so the command should be:

/queue simple add dst=pppoe-out1 max-limit=10M/10M name=queue1 queue=default/default target=name-of-your-local-bridge

instead of

/queue simple add dst=pppoe-out1 max-limit=10M/10M name=queue1 queue=default/default target=eth1

I have multiple WAN interfaces

• pppoe-out1

• pppoe-out2

• lte1

• lte2

• eth1

and i would like to add a bandwidth limit to each one of them as in

• pppoe-out1=10Mbps

• pppoe-out2=unlimited

• lte1=3Mbps

• lte2=5Mbps

• eth1=20Mbps

How would your code look like, then?

Just multiply shown rule replacing change dst=????? parameter to the particular interface you want to limit ... that's all.

Why would you want to cap the bandwidth the ISp provides. Seems like paying for 5 steaks and throwing away 2 of them.

It's not that simple. The ISP has a fine on speed. so if i keep my speed under those levels then i will keep the bandwidth until the end of the billing cycle. Otherwise they impose a cap and you get the lowest speed they can provide.

Ahh thank you!! Understanding the requirement is critical at least for me, it leads to the most efficient solution and less coding errors.
This is one case where there is a direct correlation to costs LOL.

Usually ISP put restrictions on the speed once you use let's say 100 gb of traffic, after that it limits your speed to 5 mbit/s,
first time I hear ISP is limiting speed if you use full provided and I assume paid bandwidth

What if we leave target as blank though?

Should work the same way in this scenario.
