Currently living with the in-laws while our house is renovated. I've managed to get my fancy network stuff set up, but I'd love to be able to ensure that my father in laws mac mini (which they use to stream their TV) never falters while I'm hammering their network with my stuff.
I had a crack before, using the Shaper example here, but it didn't seem to do anything:
simonk83@ubnt# show traffic-policy
shaper shaper1 {
bandwidth 5Mbit
class 2 {
bandwidth 4Mbit
match client2 {
ip {
source {
address 192.168.1.143/24
}
}
}
}
default {
bandwidth 1Mbit
}
}They're on ADSL and not all that close to the exchange, so the downstream maxes out at about 600KB/s. I'm trying to give the mac mini most of that (while it's running) and reserve the rest for everything else (my stuff basically).
I tested it by running the traffic analysis (which actually showed zero traffic coming through for that IP, when it was showing as normal before i added the policy so I obviously stuffed something up), and then started downloading a file which immediately caused the tv stream to buffer. Not working Image may be NSFW.
Clik here to view.
Just hoping to get some pointers as to the best way to get this happening? I basically just want to give this IP address absolute priority (if it's active, otherwise I can go nuts).
I did actually try the smart queue, and while it resulted in great pings while I was downloading stuff, it didn't do anything to help other devices claw back bandwidth, and the tv streaming still halts and buffers.
