General Purpose
This tutorial is designed to provide students with a deep, applied understanding of how to configure and manage Simple Queues in MikroTik RouterOS version 7.
Through detailed explanations and practical examples, participants will learn how to optimize network traffic using various Simple Queue functionalities.
Integrating key concepts such as HTB (Hierarchical Token Bucket) and QoS (Quality of Service), fundamental for the effective management of bandwidth and prioritization of traffic in a network.
Objectives for Each Chapter
Chapter 1: Simple Queues and Queue Type
- Introduce students to the basic concepts of Simple Queues and the different types of Queue Type available in MikroTik RouterOS. It will be explained how to configure aspects such as max-limit, limit-at, burst, and different queue-types.
- Students will learn how to configure maximum bandwidth limits, ensure bandwidth minimums, and manage bursts of traffic to optimize quality of service.
Chapter 2: Simple Queues and HTB
- Explain the implementation of Simple Queues in an HTB environment, showing how to configure a parent queue and its child queues within a hierarchical structure.
- Participants will understand how parent queues distribute bandwidth to child queues and how traffic prioritization can be controlled through this hierarchy.
Chapter 3: Simple Queues and QoS
- Detail how Simple Queues can be used to implement QoS policies, ensuring that critical services maintain optimal performance within the network.
- Students will learn to apply quality of service policies using Simple Queues to prioritize traffic, reduce latency, and avoid network congestion.
At the end of the Tutorial
Students will be able to:
Configure and Manage Simple Queues
They will master the techniques for establishing and managing simple queues in MikroTik RouterOS, adjusting key parameters for efficient traffic handling.
Implement QoS effectively
They will be able to implement quality of service strategies that ensure the optimal functioning of critical applications and improve the overall user experience.
Optimize Bandwidth Usage
They will have the skills to configure and optimize network bandwidth usage, using parent and child queues within an HTB approach for effective distribution of network resources.
Resolve Network Problems
They will be equipped with the practical knowledge to identify and resolve problems related to network traffic, using the diagnostic and management tools available in MikroTik RouterOS.
This tutorial not only provides essential technical skills for network administrators using MikroTik, but also strengthens students' ability to apply these concepts in real-world scenarios, ensuring more robust and efficient networks.
