Re: [AFMUG] Mikrotik: Making usre X bandwidth is available for a given device

Yes, your example using the max-limit is right. To let them all fight for it (essentially), you could only set the max-limit, target=<your subnet>, and not use a PCQ, then it would essentially let all the users share (mostly equally) the available 105 Mbps. Setting a PCQ for each is probably the better answer. It could feel sluggish for a bit for new connections if a single user were using all of it, but you can set the per-connection rate pretty high if you want to. At some point, you'll hit the 105 Mbps limit and it won't matter...

(or ½ that if there are 2, 1/3 if 3, etc)  Just not specify a pcq-rate?   Thanks   From: Af [mailto:af-boun...@afmug.com] On Behalf Of Jesse DuPont Sent: Wednesday, April 18, 2018 1:46 PM To: af@afmug.com Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Mikrotik: Making usre X bandwidth is available for a given device   You can setup a PCQ for WiFi subnet as you described, but also set the max-limit for both down and up on the PCQ and it will distribute bandwidth among all IPs in the PCQ, limited to the per-IP rate in the PCQ and overall limited to the max-limit, which you'd set to 105 Mbps. Then if you still want to, you can have a simple queue for the streaming device (which would make it easy to see how much the streamer is actually using). You can also do all this with the queue tree, but will be more complicated.

Dedicate 105/105 to PCQ which would leave the remaining 15M available to the other device (e.g. if i moved the streaming device to a different subnet)? I see an example on how to see a max limit for each PCQ user, but I can't seem to find any that set a max limit for all PCQ users.  (https://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:Queues_-_PCQ_Examples)   Is there a better way to go about this? Marking packets?  If so, does anyone know of a good tutorial?   Any suggestion would be appreciated.   Thanks, Justin
