Hey Alex, The queue parent interface is the interface that the traffic is leaving your router on. If you want to manage outbound traffic to TPG it goes on the TPG interface, if you want to manage inbound traffic to your network if goes on interface B If you want to queue more than drop you need to make sure your queue size is sufficient, but remember that you don't want to hang on to packets for too long or stuff will start retransmitting and causing other issues. The tree is right generally, mangle packets to mark the connection based on IP if that's how you want to do it, then mangle packets based on the connection mark, use the packet marks in your queues. Set your parent queue to the maximum speed of your connection and priority to 8, then add you queues for individual stuff underneath, making the addition of all queue LIMIT-AT amounts to equal your maximum speed of your parent queue, and set the MAX -LIMIT on each queue to equal the actual limit of your parent queue.

(int B) I want to shape / limit / ?? in boud and out bound traffic. I believe - from a quick read of the routeros pages that I apply the limiter to the int B. and apply up and down for 100Mb/s - this is the max Then I can carve out - well what I want is from 1 ip I want to allow full 100Mb. from 2 other I want to allow up to 80Mb and for the rest up to 60Mb/s I think I create a tree of shappers the top being the full capacity and then add nodes to match each of the above. plus I don't want drop I want it to hold the packects and release when it can does that sound about right ?
