Hi Alex, I tend to put the shapers on the WAN interface, not the LAN interface, as you may want to route/bridge between other interfaces, and don't want that traffic to be caught by the queues. But this only really works if you use Simple Queues, as if you use a Queue Tree, it will only queue outbound traffic, so you would need to have a separate tree on each. But from recent MUM presentations, my understanding is that the current best performing queue method is Simple Queue Trees anyway. This may give you something to start with: /queue simple add limit-at=100M/100M max-limit=50M/50M name=INTERNET queue=default/default target=ether1 add limit-at=20M/20M max-limit=100M/100M name=SPECIAL-PC parent=INTERNET priority=1/1 queue=default/default target=192.168.1.10 add max-limit=100M/100M name=EVERYONE-ELSE parent=INTERNET priority=8/8 queue=default/default You can use Target or packet parks to identify your traffic, and you can have quite a few queues in one tree so make it really flexible.

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 ?
