Platform Change and Revision to Queue Trees

A few weeks ago, I moved my ISP Supplies blog to Wordpress (http://blog.ispsupplies.com). I liked Blogger but it was time to do something different and Wordpress is a great platform. 

The best part of the move is that it separated my training blog (MikroTik Roadshow)  from my product distribution blog (ISP Supplies) and so now, I can make my MikroTik RoadShow blog a bit more personal. By personal, I don't mean I will turn this into a rant space, but maybe a bit less formal is a better phrase. 

PS: Just so this post has value to you today, did you know that in RouterOS version 6, there are no more "global-in",  "global-out" and "global-total" HTB's for queue trees?  True.  They have been replaced with one virtual HTB, "global".   With the popularity of simple queues, MikroTik has put a lot of emphasis on simple queues in version 6 making them 100 times faster.   Think of simple queues as an interface to the queue tree, a form you fill out that creates the queue tree structure in the background. That is the direction they are taking simple queues and they will continue to evolve and become more powerful.

Next week I will post some more info on queue trees in version 6.  Until then, the RoadShow will be back in College Station, Texas until June 20, then back to Estes Park, Colorado the week of June 24th.  From Estes we travel to Denver in July for three days of training classes then on to North Carolina in August.
