      Can someone explain the queue bandwidth setting.

      Is this total bandwidth for the queue or something else?

      It defaulted to 32Kb/s

      I set 1Mb on upload and download minimums on VoIP in the wizard.

        Your settings are fine."Bandwidth" apparently sets link-shares's m2 parameter.
        Real-time has priority over link-share, so the "Bandwidth" value is overridden by real-time's value.

        Kinda confusing… :)

        Are you simply double-checking your settings or are you trying to fix something?

        Please correct any obvious misinformation in my posts.

          "Real" bandwidth is always given, no matter what. It ignores link share and upper limit. But any bandwidth consumed by real will still count against link share and upper for all non-real bandwidth.

          example

          Say qInternet is 0.5Mb, and qVoIP is 1Mb and under qInternet. qVoIP will not only get at least 1Mb, even thought qInternet is only assigned a minimum of 0.5Mb, but when qVoIP attempts to use more than 0.5Mb/s. Well.. Simple math. 0.5Mb - 0.5Mb is 0Mb and 0.5Mb - 1.0Mb is -0.5Mb. Of course you can't have negative bandwidth. This just means there will be 0 bandwidth left to distribute among the child queues under qInternet, starving them.
