Bridge mode Bandwidth Shaping in

Introduction

This example shows how to configure a transparent traffic shaper. The transparent traffic shaper is essentially a bridge that is able to differentiate and prioritize traffic that passes through it.

Consider the following network layout

/ interface bridge 
add name="bridge1"
/ interface bridge port 
add interface=ether2 bridge=bridge1 
add interface=ether3 bridge=bridge1 
/ interface bridge settings
set use-ip-firewall=yes

/ ip firewall mangle 
add chain=prerouting protocol=tcp dst-port=80 action=mark-connection \
new-connection-mark=http_conn passthrough=yes
add chain=prerouting connection-mark=http_conn action=mark-packet \
new-packet-mark=http passthrough=no
add chain=prerouting p2p=all-p2p action=mark-connection \
new-connection-mark=p2p_conn passthrough=yes
add chain=prerouting connection-mark=p2p_conn action=mark-packet \
new-packet-mark=p2p passthrough=no
add chain=prerouting action=mark-connection new-connection-mark=other_conn \
passthrough=yes
add chain=prerouting connection-mark=other_conn action=mark-packet \
new-packet-mark=other passthrough=no

/ queue simple 
add name="main" target-addresses=10.0.0.12/32 max-limit=256000/512000
add name="http" parent=main packet-marks=http max-limit=240000/500000 priority=1
add name="p2p" parent=main packet-marks=p2p max-limit=64000/64000 priority=8
add name="other" parent=main packet-marks=other max-limit=128000/128000 priority=4
