I have a neighborhood tower, hosted by a resident. The resident gets service
over the POE cable, while his neighbors are wireless.
All subscribers have static nonroutable IPs. All subscribers are limited to a
contract speed. Each subscriber's speed is limited in his own Mikrotik CPE.
Since the host has no CPE, I limit his speed by a simple queue on the ethernet
port.
The host's ethernet port is NATted to provide the host with a private address
range for the devices inside his home, all the traffic from which shows up
NATted to a particular subcriber-range nonroutable IP that identifies him.
All fine so far.
I need to set up a PPTP VPN so I can log into the router remotely for
troubleshooting "as if I were" a device in the host's residence. To do this, I
put the ethernet port into a bridge (moving the address and the DHCP server
target appropriately), then create a PPTP VPN that attaches to that bridge and
shares the host's DHCP pool.
This all works, too, as far as function goes.
What doesn't work at this point is the simple queue. If I leave the simple
queue on the hardware interface, it limits the host's speed TO the network
only. If I change the simple queue to the bridge instead of the interface, it
limits the host's speed FROM the network only.
If I create a simple queue on each, I can "make it work," but that "solution"
strikes me as a kludge. What am I doing wrong?
