Bandwidth Management with Load Balancing

Hi there.

I try to implement a simple queue for managing clients' speed, but it works as expected only for uploads whereas download speed is not affected despite of whatever settings I put. Even if I go for very basic settings - put speed limit for whole subnet:

[admin@FFLV-Main] /queue> simple pr
Flags: X - disabled, I - invalid, D - dynamic

0 name="Office" target=192.168.25.0/24 parent=none packet-marks=""
priority=8/8 queue=pcq-upload-default/pcq-download-default limit-at=0/0
max-limit=10M/10M burst-limit=0/0 burst-threshold=0/0 burst-time=0s/0s
bucket-size=0.1/0.1

With above settings uploads are limited to 10Mbps, but downloads are not affected. More of that, I do not see download's traffic displayed in simple queue window (Queue List -> Simple Queue -> Traffic), while performing tests - I tried speedtest.net as well as downloading a big ( >1Gb) file.

I have 2 WANs configured as protocol based load balancing. I.e., HTTP & HTTPS (and DNS) traffic goes through WAN1 and other traffic goes through WAN2.
On the LAN side I've 3 local nets.
RouterOS version 6.46.4

Could you please, give me some idea how to fix this issue?

Thanks...

In case you got Fasttrack enabled on your firewall remove the rule...

It works! Great!
Will removing FastTrack slow down performance of the router significantly?

What speed does your ISP give you and what board you use ?
