You can’t set a queue unless you know what speed you have. Kinda hard to do that without testing it, latency aside, a speedtest is best, but then you are maxing it out every so often, and you have to assume that there is other traffic on it as well ☹

I was watching this one, hoping someone had an answer better than that. If I were better at scripting I'm sure something could be arranged to change the queue max speed as latency increases. A bursting QoS setup would help a bit in this situation, ran into it myself. The problem I ran into was the radio got flakey at 8Mbps, occasionally less when the weather was rough. Some days I could set max speed to 10Mbps without issue, others only 6Mbps. In my situation I think the limiting factor was packets per second rather than actual throughput. The link has been replaced since. ----- Original Message ----- From: Dennis Burgess<mailto:[email protected]> To: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Sent: Friday, November 06, 2015 8:55 AM Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Mikrotik fair queues over a variable speed link?

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
