WAN traffic exceeds queue limits

Thu Nov 03, 2022 7:18 am

Hello

I have 80Mb UP/DW dedicated bandwidth and I'm using simple queue to limit the bandwidth before my ISP does in an attempt to avoid bufferbloat.

/queue simple
add comment="Internet Traffic" max-limit=75M/75M name="Limit Bandwidth" target=\
    10.20.0.0/24

The problem is, I can still see WAN traffic is exceeding the queue limit! it even exceeds the 80Mb sometimes, which results in ping spikes.

Here's what I tried so far:
-I tested with every queue type but issue persists.
-I targeted WAN interface instead of the local subnet but nothing changed.

Any idea what might be causing the problem?

Apparently, other people are having the same problem and Mikrotik is not doing anything about it!

Apparently, you and other people do not read #7 on same topic link you post.

It doesn't work the way you think, so you don't get the results you think it should be,
and if no one but @chechito has intervened, it's because not everyone wants to get into explaining the A-B-C of how things work.

1st of all, With all due respect to Chechito, what anyone says doesn't always mean it's a fact for OPs with not enough experience with QoS.

2nd of all, What's the point of limiting the bandwidth if the clients are going to exceed the parent's max-limit anyway?!

Also, I don't think anyone is forced to explain anything, especially with a condescending tone.
