Nope. You interpreted correctly. However, there is more to this than just a simple answer. Whether you use 1000 simple queues on one box or not is a matter of network design. I recommend building the network in such a way that makes it possible to put simple queues closer to the customer. This makes it so that speed limits are applied in more routers on the network and is a little more difficult to manage, but it's a better network design. Much of the "how and why" of the above statement will depend upon how the network is built (bridged vs routed vs vlan vs etc.) and what kind of management processes are built into the system. Too short of a timeframe to give a more complete answer. Perhaps I'll have more time to do this later. -- ******************************************************************** * Butch Evans * Professional Network Consultation* * http://www.butchevans.com/ * Network Engineering * * http://store.wispgear.net/ * Wired or Wireless Networks * * http://blog.butchevans.com/ * ImageStream, Mikrotik and MORE! * ******************************************************************** _______________________________________________ Mikrotik mailing list [email protected] http://www.butchevans.com/mailman/listinfo/mikrotik Visit http://blog.butchevans.com/ for tutorials related to Mikrotik RouterOS
