Thanks Scoop - someone has to provide this information to the general public. The fact the Mikrotik still hasn't documented how fq-codel/cake is supposed to be implemented in routeros can only be described as disappointing.

[@verygoodbrother]

the documentation woeful. This is like Nokia's symbian OS, very capable but the polish is not there. If Mikrotik isn't careful, someone else will create a similar product with far better polish to draw in none network engineers but competent techies.

Amazing, recently migrated v6.48.6 to v.7.4.1, installed FQ-condel and working very find, but, high cpu/memory consumption. ☺

cake type with bandwidth setting detected configure traffic limits within queue itself.
Please explaine? Whats wrong with my config

[@Hartsock2009]

Using this for a smaller micro Wisp will report back results

[@helenvance3963]

What was the simulation program you used? Was it Flynn?

[@scoop_distribution]

We used Flent - flent.org/

[@kirksteinklauber260]

Wow very interesting! Does it work even having enabled FastTrack?

[@haedertowfeq425]

That's really interesting

[@scoop_distribution]

Yes it does when using queue tree instead of simple queue as long as parent=(not global). Example:
/queue tree
add max-limit=20M name=download parent=bridge1 queue=fq-codel
add max-limit=20M name=upload parent=ether1 queue=fq-codel
