Mikrotik limit bandwidth with queues

Mikrotik limit bandwidth with queues

In order to prevent a user with all the bandwidth makes off can limit the bandwidth per user. This is very simple, we assume that users acquire a fixed (static) IP address.

Bandwidth limit per IP address

Log in to the router board. In the main window click the "queues".

Click on the blue cross.

When "name" enter the name of the user or PC. In "target" fill the computer's IP address from which you want to limit the bandwidth.

To "target upload" "maximum limit" you select the desired speed.

To "target download" "max limit" also select the desired speed. Click "OK".

So, this is done for all the computers that you want to limit bandwidth. Would you limit the available IP addresses on a network you already fill the available IP addresses.

Bandwidth limit per subnet

• When "name" you enter the network's name. As an example, the network of the administration.
• In "target" enter the network in range. As an example 192.168.101.0/24
• To "target upload" "maximum limit" you select the desired speed.
• To "target download" "max limit" also select the desired speed.
• Click "OK".

The speed limit is set for the entire network. The network may use a total bandwidth of 40 Mbit for administration, and 40 Mbps for the lab network.

Bandwidth limit per IP address, and this for the whole subnet

This way, all the available IP addresses in a subnet limit bandwidth.

In the main window click the "queues".

Click on the tab "queue types".

Double-click "PCQ-download default".

To "rate" you enter the maximum speed per user. Click "OK".

Double-click "PCQ-upload-default".

To "rate" enter also the maximum speed per user. Click "OK".

Now click on the tab "simple queues".

When "name" enter a name of the network limit. In "target" enter the IP address of the entire subnet.

Then click on "advanced". At "queue type" "target upload" select "PCQ-upload default.

At "queue type" "download target" select "PCQ-download default. Click" OK ".

So the queues established by this IP range.

The result.
