MikroTik

How can I control Ares traffic? I create one simple queue for each client, but Ares traffic pass the limit without problems.

Anyone knows??

what do you mean be Ares? I assume "Areas" or do you mean subnets? if subnets then just creat a simple rule where the dest address is of that subnet e.g 192.168.0.0/24 and create another for source address, this will then control download / upload

Ares is a P2P software, like bittorrent or emule.

ah OK!! and it is not stopped by setting at a p2p type queue either?

if you are setting limitations per user IP address, that all the limitation should be applied, there are known some problems with encrypted p2p software generated packets (you cannot tell in router what is this) so they pass through packet marks unmarked.

so, if you limit by clients ip address everything should work, if it does not, please check your configuration

Limits are applied by ip. Works fine for all traffic, but I don't know how Ares can generate traffic that exceed the limit and pass through router. Try if you can.

I have the same problem Im trying MT only with my laptop for testing and configuration, Im limited to 64k/256k by static IP and as soon as I open Ares the downloads go up to 100k even its limited.

I have a clarkconnect software as router in my other server, it has so many limitations but it works fine with the bandwidth limit, its set at 64k/256k and the download in any program(even ares) doesnt pass that limit, Im trying to figured this out to do the same with mikrotik but seems that we are all having the same problem and noone can fix it.

Im going to post this also as a new topic to see if any moderator can help me, bye.

we doesnt need to identigy what kind of traffic is it, the only issue is that the router doesnt limit everything that came in or out of that ip, I dont know why this is a problem the clarkconnect router gateway manage to do the bandwidth without any problem and its kind of a crappy OS

I guess my configuration its ok, I only have 1 simple queue

Flags: X - disabled, I - invalid, D - dynamic
0 name="192.168.0.100" target-addresses=192.168.0.100/32
dst-address=0.0.0.0/0 interface=all parent=none direction=both
priority=8 queue=default-small/default-small limit-at=55000/220000
max-limit=55000/220000 burst-limit=55000/220000
burst-threshold=40000/200000 burst-time=5s/5s total-queue=default-small

the ether1 is 192.168.0.101 and its natted with ether3 (wan)

Am I doing anything wrong? the issue persist the bandwidth limit apply only to http downloads, should it apply to everything? p2p software work even as the limit doesnt exist.
And the same issue is with pppoe limit by user.

Hope some Guru can help us.
