Using Simple Queues with Queue Tree

Wed Jan 28, 2009 9:29 pm

I have been having a long time problem with simple queues not counting traffic correctly. I have narrowed the problem down to a conflict between the way I use Queue Tree for prioritization.

My Setup:

ISP1--->
ISP2--->
ISP3---> Control Router ---> Clients
ISP4--->
ISP5--->

I use Simple Queues on the Control Router for traffic management of both the Tx/Rx rates and a burst rate is also specified.
I also use pre-routing and post-routing mangle rules to mark all traffic going in/out of the interfaces to the different ISPs, then use one Queue Tree to assign prioritization to the different types of mangled traffic.
As the single Queue Tree is the aggragate bandwidth of all WAN connections I must use the global-in/global-out for the parents.

Both the Simple Queues and the Queue Tree work perfectly independently of eachother, however when both are on the Simple Queues fail to catch all traffic. I believe the problem is associated with the Queue Tree using the glboal-in/global-out for the parents, but I am not sure what other way I could aggregate WANs into one Queue Tree.

Anybody else encounter a situation such as this?

Cheers

Re: Using Simple Queues with Queue Tree

Try to move from Simple Queues entirely to Queue Tree. Don't use the same Queue Tree for all the incoming connections, it is not correct. To achieve packet queue control on each incoming link, you must have a good queue tree defined for each. Here's some reading materials: http://forum.mikrotik.com/viewtopic.php ... 78#p141378 http://forum.mikrotik.com/viewtopic.php ... 28#p137128
