A wolf was no less a wolf because a whim of chance caused him to run with the watch-dogs.

Hey y'all. Searched the thread but didn't come up with anything. Is there an easy guide to QoS somewhere? I just need to throttle one system by MAC address. It's a PS3, and when Netflix is fired up it destroys the wireless connection.

I did some googling and found some info on a Mikrotik forum thread about throttling netflix and other long-haul port 80 traffic but lordy. An easy QoS guide? No such thing. At least, not that I've bumped into. I'll see if I can cobble together some basic instructions for the case you've mentioned.

Awesome, all I really want is to throttle one MAC address, even if it's all traffic to that address.

Does it have to be a MAC address? It would be pretty easy to configure either a simple queue or some PCQ for a certain IP. Layer 2 QoS requires much more fiddling.

That should work just fine

Yea, I gave it a static lease and used that Simple Queue posted above. Worked great. Thanks Microtik thread :unsmith:
