Reference Comparing , Designing and Deploying VPNs chap - 02 : L2TPv3 is the enhanced version of L2TPv2 protocol. Mikrotik uses L2TPv2 i suppose but it offer another similar tunneling mechanism as EOIP. L2TPv3 in cisco provides Pseudo-wire services to the customer. L2TPv3 only require the IP connectivity between peers but it can transport Ethernet, 802.1Q , HDLC, PPP framerelay etc. Advantage over MPLS is the customer having the full control of their routing domain. L2TP depolyment methods having 3 topologies LAC - LNS , LNS - LNS , LAC - LAC Following Diagram explain simple LAC - LAC L2TPv3 setup. It uses two types of messages: control connection messages - used for signaling between LCEs session data messages - Used to transport layer 2 protocols and connections Data channel Message Header having Session ID & cookie to correctly associate with the tunnel Deploying dynamic Pseudowires session 1) configure CEF - Its default in IOSs now. 2) configure a loopback in

mikrotik queue tree - Per connection queuing.

Image
One of the cool feature on Mikrotik queuing is Per Connection Queuing . we can equally distribute the bandwidth among Number of users.[1] This setup explores the per connection queuing in the congestion situation and how to utilize the priority queuing features. [Please note Mikrotik Queue lowest priority value have highest priority eg: queue priority 7 traffic gets highest preference over queue priority 8  ] In this test setup 192.168.92.50 and 51 given 512Kbps per connection queuing(PCQ) Priority 6 . 192.168.52 and 54 placed under 256Kbps PCQ (Priority 8) and further youtube users given 384Kbps irrespective to the queue they are currently placed ( FIFO) . 1) Bridge setup - " Don't forget to enable the bridge firewall :) " /interface bridge add admin-mac=00:00:00:00:00:00 ageing-time=5m arp=enabled auto-mac=yes comment="" disabled=no forward-delay=15s l2mtu=1522 \ max-message-age=20s mtu=1500 name=br_traffic_shaper priority=0x8000 protocol-mode=none
