Ive torched as follows :

I've added a Ubnt AP into a bridge with pppoe-server on this bridge1 as well, and some other clients with mpls and vlan

What is mac-protocol 36864?, Is this vlan traffic?, I cant seem to find reference on that

> tool torch bridge1 mac-protocol=any
MAC-PROTOCOL TX RX TX-PACKETS RX-PACKETS
pppoe 1106.0kbps 74.0kbps 144 90
ip 15.9kbps 18.2kbps 18 21
36864 13.5kbps 11.1kbps 19 14
arp 672bps 960bps 2 2
802.2 0bps 0bps 0 0

It could be some vendor specific protocol or MPLS traffic.

ok thanks

researching shows that value as stp priority

Specifies the STP-bridge priority; the valid values are 0, 4096 , 8192 , 12288, 16384, 20480, 24576, 28672, 32768, 36864, 40960, 45056, 49152

Im using bridge filter to do QoS on these kinda traffic by protocol as i have mpls switching on that router, so only way to give pppoe less priority on AP side is to mark traffic by protocol type:

eg

pppoe = prio 8
ip = prio 1
36864 = prio 1 for now ( dunno what mac-protocol is)
vlan = prio 3
