How do you create a simple queue to limit a host at 192.168.10.50 to 1 Mbps down and 512 kbps up?

• A. /queue simple add target=192.168.10.50/32 max-limit=1M/0.5M
• B. /queue simple add target=192.168.10.50/32 max-limit=2M/1M
• C. /queue simple add target=192.168.10.50/32 max-limit=1M/0.25M
• D. /queue simple add target=192.168.10.50/32 max-limit=0.5M/0.5M

Answer: (A)

In a simple queue, you cap a specific host by assigning a target address and a max-limit that combines download and upload speeds in the format download/upload. For the host at 192.168.10.50, you set target to that host’s IP with a /32 mask to make it a single device, and you assign max-limit with the desired downlink first and uplink second. Setting 1M for download and 0.5M for upload gives about 1 Mbps downstream and around 500 kbps upstream, which is the closest way to meet the request of 1 Mbps down and 512 kbps up. The other options either push speeds higher (2M/1M), too low for the upload or downlink in one direction (1M/0.25M or 0.5M/0.5M), and thus don’t satisfy the specified limits as well. If you needed exactly 512 kbps for upload, you could use 512k for the upload part, e.g., max-limit=1M/512k, but among the given choices the one with 1M down and about 0.5M up is the correct fit.
