Limit Youtube Video streaming on MikroTik

Previously I've written a Mikrotik Tutorial about Limiting download with IDM in Mikrotik, this time I will share again on how to limit the streaming video, especially youtube.

This step by step limit Youtube Video streaming:

  1. Create a first-http-protocol video layer7
  2. /ip firewall layer7-protocol add name=http-video regexp="http/(0\.9|1\.0|1\.1)[\x09-\x0d ][1-5][0-9][0-9][\x09-\x0d -~]*(content-type: video)"
  3. Create Mark Mangle Packet http-video
  4. /ip frewall mangle add action=mark-packet chain=prerouting comment="http-video mark-packet" \ disabled=no layer7-protocol=http-video new-packet-mark=http-video \ passthrough=no
  5. Create a Simple Queue http-video
  6. /queue simple add max-limit=0/64000 name=http-video packet-marks=http-video
Changes will be felt when playing streaming video on youtube. so good luck

Bandwidth Management in Mikrotik

Another option is the method of bandwidth management, if if wanted bandwidth is shared equally by Mikrotik, such as bandwidth 256kbps downstream and 256kbps upstream. While the client will access as many as 10 clients, each client automatically gets a small upstream and downstream bandwidth of 256kbps divided by 10. So each one can be 25.6 kbps. If only 2 Client who access it each can be 128kbps.

For that type used PCQ (Per Connection Queue), which can be automatically divide the traffic per client. About the type of queue in mikrotik This can be read on the manual in http://www.mikrotik.com/testdocs/ros/2.9/root/queue.php.
