MikroTik

Hi everyone!

Is it possible to configure a Mikrotik unit so that all SIP traffic goes before anything else? I'm having some serious problems with the throughput of my Asterisk server, and I would like to give any traffic coming from/going to it top priority...

sure if you are able to mangle it.

How do I do all of this? SIP traffic is basically coming in on UDP 5060, and going out on a wide range of UDP ports, starting at 16384...

I would be interested in knowing how this is done. I do not believe its possible with MT. Although the MT can mark/mangle IP Precedence bits, etc. I don't know that it in fact acts upon them (acting on marked traffic is not something IP handles inherently, its up to the router to do something with it).

Also I do not see where MT supports any type of Priority Queueing, with which to manipulate the mangled/marked packets.

To evert: then mark all the traffic going through that ports. If you know a signature common to all SIP packets, feel free to include it into the mangle rule ("content" property). Only beware that content checking might increase CPU load on the router.

To signal: check out queue trees
