That is similar to what I had in place. Limiting the PCQ itself to a specific rate helps a bit.

PCQ Down normal priority rate unlimited
PCQ Down lower priority rate 3Mbps

Not my preferred method, but it did help a bit.

If there's a way that works, I'd be interested also.

What I know you CAN do is put higher priority on shorter connections. You mark packets based on bytes transferred in a connection and give higher priority to connections that haven't yet moved more than X bytes (maybe 5,000,000 or 20,000,000).

Maybe you can't make everyone's streaming work that way, but you can make sure their web browsing and email works.

Is there a way to implement a fair queue system [like PCQ but] over a variable speed / flexible frame link without significantly limiting the overall link speed? I have an area that is being served with a NLOS backhaul link having variable peak speeds.

I'm working on the improved backhaul location, but it will still be a few months.

Thanks - Chris
