HTB (Hierarchical Token Bucket) is a queuing discipline in RouterOS for rate limiting and burst handling, using a token bucket algorithm to manage data rates with configurable capacity and limits.

PFIFO and BFIFO are MikroTik RouterOS queue management strategies following FIFO principles, with PFIFO prioritizing packets by arrival order and BFIFO managing byte-based bandwidth allocation. Both ensure fairness but lack traffic prioritization, differing in queue size measurement and packet dropping behavior.

This page explains how to configure queue size limits in MikroTik RouterOS, detailing the impact of setting maximum packet counts on traffic shaping and scheduling. It includes examples comparing 100% shapers, schedulers, and default queue types to illustrate packet drop rates and delays.

This page introduces MikroTik RouterOS queueing and bandwidth management, covering HTB, PCQ, burst behavior, and queue types for traffic shaping. It explains how to configure simple and advanced queues using `/queue/simple` and `/queue/tree`, with details on rate limiting principles, CIR/MIR definitions, and warnings about queue order and target matching.
