Hi All, just wondering if anybody has noticed this functionality in Simple Queues before, it kind of makes sense that it does it but kind of doesn't as well.
The scenario goes like this.
You have a backhaul for a site, let's say it's 50M, it connects into a RB1100AHx2 for example, so you have a simple queue on that interface to keep it just under that because it's a MEF and it will drop packets like a bitch if you let it go over.
This site runs PPPOE termination for a couple of users for example, so when you add your queue for the backhaul interface the other queues then come in after it once the users log in, so for some reason simple queues work in order somehow, so all my user queues below the backhaul queue somehow inherit the speed setting on the backhaul queue, it's like the queue limits are totally ignored on the user queues.
If I have 50M limit on the backhaul queue and 10M limit on my user dynamic queues they all get access to more than 10M and spike up to the 50M limit of the backhaul queue.
So if I move the backhaul queue to the bottom, or tell the PPP profile to put the user queues above the backhaul queue then the user queues behave correctly but the backhaul queue seems to get some random traffic and never the total for the interface.
The way I setup the backhaul queue is just simply set the target to equal the backhaul interface name and set my upload and download speeds, nothing else.
I have come across this issue before and the only way I could find around it was to change the backhaul queue to be a queue tree queue and use mangle rules to mark the traffic.
Has anybody had this issue before ?, am I just trying to do this wrong ?, is it broken or working by design or what ?, any suggestions ??
Thanks
Paul
