What are queues in MikroTik?

Queues are used to limit and prioritize traffic: limit data rate for certain IP addresses, subnets, protocols, ports, and other parameters. limit peer-to-peer traffic. prioritize some packet flows over others.

What is the difference between simple queue and queue tree?

Simple Queue marks packets, and make invisible leaf in Queue Tree. Queue tree uses Mangle packet marks to do the limitations, Mangle can match any traffic. For example you can use it to match only P2P traffic coming from specific customers at a specific time. And then use the mark to make a Queue Tree.

What is Sfq MikroTik?

SFQ – Stochastic Fairness Queuing. PCQ – Per Connection Queuing (MikroTik Proprietary) Firewall Mangle and Address-lists. Queue Tree.

What is bucket size in MikroTik?

bucket size (0.. 10, Default:0.1) – queue option was added in RouterOS v6. 35, before that it was hard-coded to a value of “0.1”.

How do I limit traffic on MikroTik?

What can be monitored by torch tool?

traffic flow
Torch is real-time traffic monitoring tool that can be used to monitor the traffic flow through an interface. You can monitor traffic classified by protocol name, source address, destination address, port. Torch shows the protocols you have chosen and tx/rx data rate for each of them.

What is burst time in MikroTik?

Burst is a feature of the mikrotik router that allows a user’s computer to gain more than Maximum Information Rate (MIR) bandwidth allocation in a given time period.

What is HTB MikroTik?

HTB (Hierarchical Token Bucket) is a classful queuing method that is useful for handling different kind of traffic. We have to follow three basic steps to create HTB: Match and mark traffic – classify traffic for further use. Consists of one or more matching parameters to select packets for the specific class.

What is possible with Netinstall?

Netinstall is a tool designed for Windows operating systems to reinstall MikroTik devices running RouterOS (except for non-MikroTik x86 devices). Netinstall re-formats the device’s disk and copies over fresh files on to the system’s disk, this can solve multiple issues when your device is not working properly.

What is queue burst?

Theory. Burst is a feature that allows to satisfy queue requirement for additional bandwidth even if required rate is bigger that MIR (max-limit) for a limited period of time. Burst can occur only if average-rate of the queue for the last burst-time seconds is smaller that burst-threshold.
