MikroTik RouterOS offers several queuing types under /queue type. These queuing algorithms manage how packets are buffered and sent, affecting fairness, delay, and throughput.
Available queue types in RouterOS:
* SFQ (Stochastic Fairness Queuing)#
* FIFO (First In First Out - for bytes or packets)#
* PCQ (Per Connection Queuing)#
* RED (Random Early Detection/Drop)#
Unavailable queue types:
* DRR#- Not supported by RouterOS
* LIFO#- Not supported; not suitable for networking queues
Extract from Official MTCNA Course Material - Queue Types:
"RouterOS supports PCQ, SFQ, RED, FIFO, and more. DRR and LIFO are not implemented." Extract from Rene Meneses MTCNA Study Guide - Traffic Management:
"Only PCQ, FIFO, SFQ, RED are listed under /queue type. DRR and LIFO do not appear in the supported list." Extract from MikroTik Wiki - Queue Types:
"Supported types include FIFO, PCQ, RED, and SFQ. Each has specific use cases for latency or fairness."
