The WikiLeaks vs. the US government saga started in July, when 77,000 secret US documents directly relating to Afghanistan were made available to major media organizations. Many of us shook our heads with a mixture of disgust and vindication. We had long been aware of the brutality of the war, and the corruption of its benefactors. Now we finally had written, uncontested proof.

The Afghanistan War Logs were revealing and damning. They were filed by soldiers and commanders in the field. Despite the largeness of their size, they constituted a decipherable narrative, a sorry story to told and discussed.

The Iraq War Diaries also resembled an unmitigated disaster for US war plans. 391,832 classified military documents were published on October 22, revealing the extent of the calamitous invasion, occupation and ‘state building’ underway in Iraq.

The value of these finds – representing the largest leak in history – was unmatched. It effectively brought to an end the illusion that all was well in Mesopotamia. As with the Afghanistan documents, these files too constituted a narrative, albeit an extremely long and disturbing one. The fact that 15,000 Iraqi deaths are now officially included in the Iraqi death count is in itself a remarkable achievement.

The leaks regarding Afghanistan and Iraq were related. The much touted ‘success’ of the surge in Iraq under former US President George W. Bush is being repeated in Afghanistan under current President Barack Obama. The same haughtiness, language, and even strategies are now being duplicated. Thanks to the logs and diaries, now we know we are being fed half-truths. We can see through the dodgy numbers, the fabricated estimations, the flashy and dishonest language of politicians and leaders. Never again should anyone claim a lack of knowledge of civilian casualties, detainee abuse, corruption, and very shifty war goals.

On November 28, the State Department was faced with another leak and embarrassment. 250,000 US diplomatic cables were released, divulging everything from the US’ belittling judgments of the supposedly poor fighting abilities of British soldiers in Helmand to the unwelcomed camaraderie between Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin and Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi, from Qatar’s alleged “(hesitance) to act against known terrorists” to Hezbollah’s alleged attainment of new and sophisticated weapons through Syria.

Much of what has been disclosed was known, expected or realized through a simple exercise of deductive reasoning. In the case of Russia, cables, many of which were disclosed to the New York Times and four other major international news outlets, merely demonstrated the limited access enjoyed by US diplomats in that country. This left them reliant mostly on third party accounts, and their own personal interpretations. Their messages, at times, read like unsophisticated blogs, conceited and overly judgmental, if not overly personal.

In the case of Turkey, which seems to be the center of American diplomacy, 7,981 leaked documents reflected a predictable hatred and paranoia towards a country spreading its wings as a regional power – in a region already claimed by both Israel and the United States. According to reports, the comments were almost all negative. Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan was reportedly described as an “autocratic Islamist” who surrounds himself with an “iron ring of sycophantic (but contemptuous) advisors.” Ahmet Davutoglu, the foreign minister, is described as “extremely dangerous,” with neo-Ottoman ambitions.

While there were numerous insulting comments about the leaders of almost all the countries discussed in the cables, some revelations were particularly suspicious. For one, it seems strange that Israel, a nuclear-power with ongoing military adventures was spared much of the embarrassment. Iran’s nuclear program-related documents were bewildering, as they comprised the only case with a consistent and consequential narrative. This was embraced by the Israeli Jerusalem Post, which described the findings as vindicating to Israel (because the leaks alleged that the desire to eliminate Iran’s nuclear program was also shared by others in the region). The timing of this revelation seems suspicious, in light of Iran’s scheduled nuclear talks in Geneva, and the increasingly warming of relations between Iran and various Arab countries. It seems as if someone, or some entity, wants to enliven the conflict with Iran, and spread it throughout the Middle East.

There was also allegation, made by Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak that the Palestinian Authority of Mahmoud Abbas was informed in advance of the deadly war unleashed on the impoverished Gaza Strip, which killed and wounded thousands. Even if someone chooses to trust a source like Barak, there are still no surprises here. Palestinian officials in Ramallah openly coordinate ‘security’ and other issues with their Israeli counterparts at a time that Gaza continues to face the harshness of siege. The Palestinian Authority’s unflattering conduct requires no leaks.

The Turkish mainstream daily Aksam dubbed the leaks “The September 11 of Diplomacy”. And like September 11, the leaks will likely reverberate in their impact on the international stage for years to come. There is no question that the embarrassing disclosures would make every world government thinks twice before sharing any new intelligence with US officials. The US officials will think twice before choosing their words.

But that aside, it must be stated that some US diplomats – unlike the top politicians in Washington – seem to in fact hold themselves accountable to the declared policy of their government. Their repeated emphasis on democracy, corruption, and so on in their private messages indicate that they are genuinely focused on these issues, despite the fact that they serve a largely frivolous and propagandist role in the overall policy of the US government.

Finally, one must admit that, unlike the Afghanistan and Iraq leaks, the latest revelations were of hardly any service to the cause of justice and global peace. They simply showed the inner workings of US diplomacy, with all of its good points, flaws, limits and shortcomings. Despite their high number, the documents raised many questions, but actually answered few. They only confirmed existing beliefs, ranging from the widespread corruption in Afghanistan to Berlusconi’s “frequent late nights and penchant for partying.” But since more are coming, one can only wait and see…

The new Strategic Concept adopted by the North Atlantic Treaty Organization at its summit in Lisbon, Portugal on November 19-20 reiterated the U.S.-led military bloc’s determination to expand military partnerships and deployments throughout the so-called Greater Middle East, including in the Persian Gulf. [1]

The Alliance’s doctrine for the next decade contains the assertion that “we attach great importance to peace and stability in the Gulf region, and we intend to strengthen our cooperation in the Istanbul Cooperation Initiative,” [2] the reference being to the decision reached at the bloc’s 2004 summit in Turkey to upgrade partnerships with the seven members of NATO’s Mediterranean Dialogue program – Algeria, Egypt, Israel, Jordan, Mauritania, Morocco and Tunisia – and the six members of the Gulf Cooperation Council – Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates – to the status of the Partnership for Peace program used to graduate 12 Eastern European nations to full NATO membership over the last 11 years.

Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates have formally responded to the initiative by forging bilateral relations with NATO, and Oman and Saudi Arabia have cooperated with the military alliance in ad hoc endeavors ranging from conferences to hosting visits of NATO naval groups. [3]

The United Arab Emirates (UAE) is also one of NATO’s 48 Troop Contributing Nations for the war in Afghanistan and provides air bases to NATO member states for the war in that country. Until recently Canadian aircraft and troops operated out of Camp Mirage in Dubai, reportedly at the Al Minhad Air Base, where Dutch, Australian and New Zealand military forces have also been based for the Afghan war and operations in the Arabian Sea.

Britain also employs the Al Minhad Air Base as a “final hopping point” for transport planes to “carry troops and supplies to Afghanistan.” In addition, the base supplies logistical support to British warships in the Persian Gulf. In the words of a British military official, “It’s the right distance from the UK and the right distance from Afghanistan, in a safe country.” [4]

As is evident by the location of the 13 nations targeted by the Istanbul Cooperation Initiative, from Mauritania on the west coast of Africa to the monarchies and sheikdoms of the Persian Gulf, NATO is complementing and reinforcing U.S. military objectives and deployments from the Atlantic Ocean to the Indian Ocean. There is a NATO overlay to the Pentagon’s Africa Command and Central Command, converging in Egypt, the only African nation still in the second command which reaches to the Chinese and Russian borders in Kazakhstan to the east.

The USS Abraham Lincoln and USS Harry S. Truman nuclear-powered supercarrier strike groups are currently in the Arabian Sea along with the only non-American nuclear aircraft carrier in the world, France’s Charles de Gaulle [5], conducting operations from the Horn of Africa to Afghanistan.

Over 150,000 troops under U.S. and NATO command are waging war in Afghanistan, including in the provinces of Herat, Farah and Nimroz on Iran’s eastern border.

In 2004 NATO airlifted Afghan government troops loyal to President Hamid Karzai to Herat province to depose the province’s governor, Ismail Khan, whose son was killed in the process, and seize the Shindand Air Base, 20 miles from the Iranian border.

Earlier this year the Pentagon announced plans to spend $131 million to upgrade the air base. As a press report last May put it, the expansion and modernization of the base is occurring “as the U.S. works to strengthen the militaries and missile defenses of allies in the region and presses at the United Nations for a new round of sanctions aimed at forcing Iran to curb its nuclear program.” [6]

To the south of Afghanistan’s Nimroz province is the Pakistani province of Balochistan, where the U.S. and NATO have been conducting helicopter raids and surveillance flights and where it was recently reported that “the United States military and its coalition partners in Afghanistan” have been granted the right to “maintain a presence” at a Pakistani military base in the capital of Quetta. [7] By some accounts the Pentagon and NATO are establishing an air base in the province. [8]

North of Afghanistan’s border with Iran is the former Soviet republic of Turkmenistan, which adjoins Iran from Afghanistan to the Caspian Sea. In January of 2009 General David Petraeus, at the time head of U.S. Central Command and now commander of all American and NATO troops in Afghanistan, led a delegation to Turkmenistan to consolidate transit and other support for the war in Afghanistan and to build bilateral military ties.

Last summer a news source by no means unfriendly to U.S. foreign policy objectives revealed that “The U.S. has gained access to use almost all the military airfields of Turkmenistan, including the airport in Nebit-Dag near the Iranian border, which was reconstructed at American expense. In September 2004, at the Mary-2 airfield, U.S. military experts appeared and began reconstructing the facility with the help of Arab construction companies, which provoked the protest of Moscow….” [9]

North of Turkmenistan along the Caspian coastline, one nation removed from Iran, is Kazakhstan, the largest and richest nation in Central Asia and one which has a 4,251-mile border with Russia and a 951-mile one with China. [10]

Last month the U.S. State Department signed an agreement with the country that allows U.S. military aircraft “to fly across the North Pole and through Kazakhstan air space to supply American forces in Afghanistan,” thereby “mak[ing] it faster and cheaper to send troops and materiel to the Afghan war zone.” [11]

The U.S. has also recently confirmed that it will supply Kazakhstan with six retrofitted UH-1 Iroquois (Huey) helicopters to be used in the Caspian Sea where border demarcation issues exist among its five littoral nations: Kazakhstan, Iran, Russia, Azerbaijan and Turkmenistan.

In late October Kazakh President Nursultan Nazarbayev met with NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen and afterward announced that Kazakh troops would be assigned to NATO’s International Security Assistance Force headquarters in the Afghan capital. Kazakhstan and Azerbaijan, on opposite ends of the Caspian Sea, along with Azerbaijan’s South Caucasus neighbors Armenia and Georgia, are the only non-European nations that have been granted a NATO Individual Partnership Action Plan.

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton recently returned from visits to Kazakhstan, where she attended the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) summit in the nation’s capital and met with President Nazarbayev and Foreign Minister Saudabayev to discuss “various aspects of the U.S.-Kazakhstan strategic partnership,” [12] and afterward to Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan and Bahrain.

On December 2 Hillary met with Kyrgyz President Roza Otunbayeva [13] and indicated that the Pentagon has no intention of leaving the Transit Center at Manas (formerly the Manas Air Base) in Kyrgyzstan where the latest figures estimate that 50,000 U.S. and NATO troops transit each month into and out of Afghanistan. According to a Reuters dispatch, “Clinton said Washington would examine again in 2014 whether it needed the Manas base.” [14]

On the same day a Kyrgyz website disclosed that Foreign Minister Ruslan Kazakbaev met with Dirk Brengelmann, NATO’s Assistant Secretary General for Political Affairs and Security Policy, to discuss bilateral cooperation.

Clinton next travelled to Uzbekistan on December 2 in the first visit by a Secretary of State to the country since Colin Powell’s nine years ago.

During her trip the local press quoted earlier statements by two of Clinton’s subordinates at a subcommittee hearing of the U.S. House of Representatives Committee on Foreign Affairs on November 17:

Assistant Secretary of State for South and Central Asian Affairs Robert Blake affirmed that “This administration considers Central Asia to be an important pillar of our security policy and regional US interests,” and Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Afghanistan, Pakistan and Central Asia David Sedney said, “We must increase our engagement with Central Asia at all levels.” [15]

Across the Caspian from Kazakhstan, the U.S. and NATO have cultivated Azerbaijan as a military outpost on the sea and in the volatile South Caucasus region. [16] Azerbaijan borders Iran.

The Azerbaijan-NATO Cooperation Institute and the Romanian embassy – the current NATO Contact Point Embassy in Azerbaijan – will host a conference entitled “NATO After the Lisbon Summit: New Strategic Concept” in the capital of Baku on December 7.

Recently Borut Grgic, founder of the European Policy Centre’s transCaspian Initiative and senior fellow at the Atlantic Council – the U.S.-based pro-NATO think tank [17] – stated:

“NATO has a stabilizing role to play in the region, most of all in providing the broader security framework for the countries of the South Caucasus.

“I think all three South Caucasus countries can become NATO member states….” [18] All three nations – Azerbaijan, Armenia and Georgia – have NATO Individual Partnership Action Plans and have troop contingents assigned to NATO’s International Security Assistance Force in Afghanistan. Georgia is a U.S. and NATO frontline on the Black Sea and in the Caucasus. The American guided missile destroyer USS Gonzalez visited the Georgian Black Sea port of Batumi last week and on December 3 American ambassador John Bass stated:

“The United States remains firmly committed to Georgia’s sovereignty and territorial integrity. We enjoy a strong defense relationship, defense cooperation, and we’re currently working closely with the Ministry of Defense and other ministries in Georgia to improve Georgia’s ability to defend itself.” [19]

On December 1 the chairman of the Armenian parliament’s Committee on Defense, National Security and Internal Affairs gave a lecture at the NATO Defense College in Rome. On December 3 NATO Deputy Secretary General Claudio Bisogniero met with Armenia’s representative to NATO, Samvel Mkrtchyan, to discuss current and future cooperation. Armenia borders Iran and has maintained good relations with its neighbor. It is also a member of the Russian-led Collective Security Treaty Organization. Ties with Iran and Russia will not grow any closer as Armenia is further integrated with NATO.

After leaving Central Asia, on December 3 Clinton was in Bahrain to deliver a special address at the Manama Dialogue 2010 Regional Security Summit sponsored by the London-based International Institute for Strategic Studies and the Kingdom of Bahrain.

Her comments included:

“Amongst other things, we seek to strengthen the Gulf security dialogue, which represents our primary security coordination mechanism with the Gulf Cooperation Council countries. The dialogue is designed to bolster the capabilities of GCC partners to deter and defend against conventional and unconventional threats and improve interoperability with the United States and with each other. We all know that efforts to deepen cooperation, coordination and transparency among this region’s militaries would yield broad benefits that extend to the whole range of modern threats.” [20]

The Gulf Security Dialogue is, in the State Department’s own words, “the U.S. Government’s principal security coordination mechanism with the nations of the Gulf Cooperation Council. The Dialogue supports our enduring interest in the region, focusing on a wide range of political-military issues, including shared strategic challenges in the wider region and enhancing partnerships in the areas of security cooperation, counterterrorism, border security, nonproliferation and maritime security.” [21]

Bahrain lies directly across the Persian Gulf from Iran, hosts the headquarters of the U.S. Fifth Fleet, is an active member of NATO’s Istanbul Cooperation Initiative and has security personnel assigned to NATO’s International Security Assistance Force in Afghanistan.

The United Arab Emirates, the only Persian Gulf state that is an official Troop Contributing Nation for NATO in Afghanistan, has just hosted a two-day Middle East Missile and Air Defense Symposium in Abu Dhabi. On the first day, Deputy Chief of Staff of the United Arab Emirates Armed Forces Major General Ali Mohammed Subaih Al Kaâ’bi said that “an integrated missile defence Center of Excellence along with CENTCOM [U.S. Central Command] is now a reality.”

Central Command chief Marine General James Mattis gave the second keynote address on December 5 and said “CENTCOM is eager to engage in countering ballistic and cruise missiles and providing a robust missile defence….” [22]

The conference’s first plenary session was chaired by Lieutenant General (Retired) Stanley Green, the Vice President of International Business Development, Air and Missile Defense at Lockheed Martin (and formerly with Raytheon Company), and Major General Richard Shook, Mobilization Assistant to Commander of the US Air Forces Central Command, gave a presentation on “Regional Integrated Air and Missile Defense – The Operational Picture.”

Brigadier General David Mann, commander of the 32nd Army Air and Missile Defense Command, delivered a presentation entitled “A Regional Approach to Missile Defense – The Integrated Air and Missile Defense Center (IAMDC).”

The second plenary session heard from – as they are described by the sponsors of the event – Clayton Holt, Middle East Division Chief, Directorate of International Affairs at the Pentagon’s Missile Defense Agency, on the subject of “Ballistic Missile Defense Overview,” from Captain Hervé Boy, chief of the Program Expertise Office at the French Navy Headquarters, on “Maritime Assets and Interoperability in the AMD System,” and from Major General (Retired) John Urias, Deputy Commanding General of the U.S. Army Space and Missile Defense Command (and Raytheon Integrated Defense Systems vice president for Force Applications Programs), on “Integrated Air & Missile Defense – A Theater Imperative.”

The December 6 sessions were addressed by Major General (Retired) John Brooks, Vice President, International Business Development, President, Northrop Grumman International, Inc.; David Des Roches, Director, Gulf and Arabian Peninsula Office of the Assistant Secretary of Defense, International Security Affairs; the Pentagon’s Colonel Ole Knudson; and Colonel Marc Miglior, Project Officer in Charge, Air Defense and Ballistic Missile Defense, French Air Force Headquarters. [23]

Last year French President Nicolas Sarkozy opened a military complex – with a navy base, air base, and training camp – in the United Arab Emirates, his country’s first permanent base in the Persian Gulf. In doing so Paris joined the U.S., Britain, Canada, the Netherlands. Australia and New Zealand in maintaining a military presence in the country.

The U.S. is consolidating a global interceptor missile system not only in all of Europe as was formalized at last month’s NATO summit, but throughout the Black Sea region and into the Middle East. Two years ago the U.S. deployed an anti-missile Forward-Based X-Band Radar with a 2,900-mile range in Israel which it staffs with approximately 120 service members, and will station 24 Standard Missile-3 interceptors in Romania.

The U.S. and NATO have also been pressuring Turkey to host missile shield facilities. According to one report, Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan “is concerned that Turkey’s participation might later give Israel protection from an Iranian counter-strike.” [24]

Earlier this year Washington announced the sale of land-based interceptor missiles to Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates. It has supplied both Patriot Advanced Capability-3 and Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) missile systems to Gulf Cooperation Council states – Patriot missiles to Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar and Saudi Arabia and a THAAD missile shield system to the United Arab Emirates – and has deployed sea-based Standard Missile-3 interceptors in the Gulf on Aegis class warships. [25] There are currently three Aegis class guided missile destroyers in the Persian Gulf and Arabian Sea: USS Halsey, Momsen and Shoup.

On October 21 the U.S. announced a $60 billion arms deal with Saudi Arabia for advanced fighter jets, helicopters, missiles and other weaponry and equipment in what has been calculated to be the largest weapons deal in American history. The month before, the Financial Times estimated that Washington plans to sell $123 billion worth of arms to Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Oman and the United Arab Emirates. [26]

Britain recently concluded two weeks of joint military training with the air force and navy of the United Arab Emirates at the Al Dhafra Air Base. The war games, under the codename Operation Air Khanjar, included aerial combat exercises with Royal Air Force [RAF] Typhoon jet fighters and airborne surveillance aircraft and Emirati F-16s and Mirages.

The two countries’ navies also participated as “training increased in complexity as the operation developed, with more advanced flight manoeuvres and joint exercises with the British HMS Cumberland, which was conducting maritime security operations in the Gulf.”

“The Royal Navy relies on the UAE for ports, and the RAF participates in training alongside Emirati forces at the Air Warfare Centre.”

The Emirates’ Al Minhad Air Base, in addition to accommodating Western military aircraft, “provides logistical support to British vessels deployed in the Gulf for ‘broader regional stability’ and enhanced ties with the UAE.” [27]

NATO has announced that it is prepared to extend its six-year-old NATO Training Mission – Iraq, which has trained over 10,000 military personnel – officers and troops – and internal security forces, beyond 2011. [28]

After the NATO summit in Portugal, an editorial in the Washington Post stated:

“NATO’s Lisbon summit meeting last weekend was encouraging. All of the alliance’s members – and the more than 20 other nations that have joined the international force in Afghanistan – signed on to a plan to continue the mission until at least the end of 2014….

“The Afghan experience….offers the United States the assurance that should it have to undertake wars such as Afghanistan in the future, it will not need to act alone.” [29]

When a confrontation – or far worse – with Iran occurs, the U.S. and NATO will have military forces in place all around the nation.

Kategori: Fitur & Penggunaan
Selama mengelola Mikrotik Indonesia, banyak sekali muncul pertanyaan bagaimana cara melakukan pemisahan queue untuk trafik internet internasional dan trafik ke internet Indonesia (OpenIXP dan IIX). Di internet sebetulnya sudah ada beberapa website yang menampilkan cara pemisahan ini, tapi kami akan coba menampilkan kembali sesederhana mungkin supaya mudah diikuti.
Pada artikel ini, kami mengasumsikan bahwa:
1. Router Mikrotik melakukan Masquerading / src-nat untuk client. Client menggunakan IP privat.
2. Gateway yang digunakan hanya satu, baik untuk trafik internasional maupun IIX.
3. Anda bisa menggunakan web-proxy internal ataupun tanpa web-proxy. Jika Anda menggunakan web-proxy, maka ada beberapa tambahan rule yang perlu dilakukan. Perhatikan bagian NAT dan MANGLE pada contoh di bawah ini.
Jika ada parameter di atas yang berbeda dengan kondisi Anda di lapangan, maka konfigurasi yang ada di artikel ini harus Anda modifikasi sesuai dengan konfigurasi network Anda.

Pengaturan Dasar

Berikut ini adalah diagram network dan asumsi IP Address yang akan digunakan dalam contoh ini.

Untuk mempermudah pemberian contoh, kami mengupdate nama masing-masing interface sesuai dengan tugasnya masing-masing.

[admin@MikroTik] > /interface pr
Flags: X – disabled, D – dynamic, R – running
# NAME TYPE RX-RATE TX-RATE MTU
0 R ether-public ether 0 0 1500
1 R ether-local ether 0 0 1500
Untuk klien, akan menggunakan blok IP 192.168.0.0/24, dan IP Address 192.168.0.1 difungsikan sebagai gateway dan dipasang pada router, interface ether-local. Klien dapat menggunakan IP Address 192.168.0-2 hingga 192.168.0.254 dengan subnet mask 255.255.255.0.

[admin@MikroTik] > /ip ad pr
Flags: X – disabled, I – invalid, D – dynamic
# ADDRESS NETWORK BROADCAST INTERFACE
0 202.0.0.1/24 202.0.0.0 202.0.0.255 ether-public
1 192.168.0.1/24 192.168.0.0 192.168.0.255 ether-local
Jangan lupa melakukan konfigurasi DNS server pada router, dan mengaktifkan fitur “allow remote request”.
Karena klien menggunakan IP private, maka kita harus melakukan fungsi src-nat seperti contoh berikut.

[admin@MikroTik] > /ip fi nat pr
Flags: X – disabled, I – invalid, D – dynamic
0 chain=srcnat out-interface=ether-public
action=masquerade
Jika Anda menggunakan web-proxy transparan, Anda perlu menambahkan rule nat redirect, seperti terlihat pada contoh di bawah ini (rule tambahan yang tercetak tebal).

[admin@MikroTik] > /ip fi nat pr
Flags: X – disabled, I – invalid, D – dynamic
0 chain=srcnat out-interface=ether-public
action=masquerade
1 chain=dstnat in-interface=ether-local protocol=tcp
dst-port=80 action=redirect to-ports=8080
Jangan lupa mengaktifkan fitur web-proxy, dan men-set port layanan web-proxynya, dan disesuaikan dengan port redirect pada contoh di atas.
CEK: Pastikan semua konfigurasi telah berfungsi baik. Lakukanlah ping (baik dari router maupun dari klien) ke luar network Anda secara bergantian.

Pengaturan IP Address List
Mulai Mikrotik RouterOS versi 2.9, dikenal dengan fitur yang disebut IP Address List. Fitur ini adalah pengelompokan IP Address tertentu dan setiap IP Address tersebut bisa kita namai. Kelompok ini bisa digunakan sebagai parameter dalam mangle, firewall filter, nat, ataupun queue.
Mikrotik Indonesia telah menyediakan daftar IP Address yang diadvertise di OpenIXP dan IIX, yang bisa didownload dengan bebas di URL: http://www.mikrotik.co.id/getfile.php?nf=nice.rsc
File nice.rsc ini dibuat secara otomatis di server Mikrotik Indonesia setiap jam, dan merupakan data yang telah dioptimalkan untuk menghilangkan duplikasi entri dan tumpang tindih subnet. Saat ini jumlah baris pada script tersebut berkisar 7000 baris.
Contoh isi file nice.rsc :

# Script created by: Valens Riyadi @ http://www.mikrotik.co.id
# Generated at 26 April 2007 05:30:02 WIB … 431 lines
/ip firewall address-list
add list=nice address=”1.2.3.4″
rem [find list=nice]
add list=nice address=”125.162.0.0/16″
add list=nice address=”125.163.0.0/16″
add list=nice address=”152.118.0.0/16″
add list=nice address=”125.160.0.0/16″
add list=nice address=”125.161.0.0/16″
add list=nice address=”125.164.0.0/16″
.
.
dst…
Proses pengambilan file nice.rsc bisa dilakukan langsung dari terminal di RouterOS dengan perintah:

/tool fetch address=ixp.mikrotik.co.id src-path=/download/nice.rsc;
Kemudian, import-lah file tersebut.

[admin@MikroTik] > import nice.rsc

Opening script file nice.rsc
Script file loaded and executed successfully
Pastikan bahwa proses import telah berlangsung dengan sukses, dengan mengecek Address-List pada Menu IP – Firewall

Proses upload ini dapat juga dilakukan secara otomatis jika Anda memiliki pengetahuan scripting. Misalnya Anda membuat shell script pada Linux untuk melakukan download secara otomatis dan mengupload file secara otomatis setiap pk 06.00 pagi. Kemudian Anda tinggal membuat scheduler pada router untuk melakukan import file.
Jika Anda menggunakan RouterOS versi 3.x, proses update juga dapat dilakukan secara otomatis.
Perintah yang perlu dibuat adalah :

/system sched add comment=”update-nice” disabled=no interval=1d name=”update-nice-rsc” on-event=”:if ([:len [/file find name=nice.rsc]] > 0) do={/file remove nice.rsc }; /tool fetch address=ixp.mikrotik.co.id src-path=/download/nice.rsc;/import nice.rsc” start-date=jan/01/1970 start-time=00:06:00
Hati-hati! : Setelah copy paste, pastikan hasil copy paste sama persis. Proses copy paste kadang-kadang menghilangkan beberapa karakter tertentu.

Pengaturan Mangle
Langkah selanjutnya adalah membuat mangle. Kita perlu membuat 1 buah connection mark dan 2 buah packet mark, masing-masing untuk trafik internasional dan lokal.

[admin@MikroTik] > /ip firewall mangle pr
Flags: X – disabled, I – invalid, D – dynamic

0 chain=prerouting in-interface=ether-local
dst-address-list=nice
action=mark-connection new-connection-mark=conn-iix
passthrough=yes

1 chain=prerouting connection-mark=conn-iix
action=mark-packet new-packet-mark=packet-iix
passthrough=no

2 chain=prerouting action=mark-packet
new-packet-mark=packet-intl passthrough=no

Untuk rule #0, pastikanlah bahwa Anda memilih interface yang mengarah ke client. Untuk chain, kita menggunakan prerouting, dan untuk kedua packet-mark, kita menggunakan passthrough=no.
Jika Anda menggunakan web-proxy internal dan melakukan redirecting trafic, maka Anda membuat 2 buah rule tambahan seperti contoh di bawah ini (rule tambahan yang tercetak tebal).

[admin@MikroTik] > /ip firewall mangle pr
Flags: X – disabled, I – invalid, D – dynamic

0 chain=prerouting in-interface=ether-local
dst-address-list=nice
action=mark-connection new-connection-mark=conn-iix
passthrough=yes

1 chain=prerouting connection-mark=conn-iix
action=mark-packet new-packet-mark=packet-iix
passthrough=no

2 chain=output connection-mark=conn-iix
action=mark-packet new-packet-mark=packet-iix
passthrough=no

3 chain=prerouting action=mark-packet
new-packet-mark=packet-intl passthrough=no

4 chain=output action=mark-packet
new-packet-mark=packet-intl passthrough=no

Pengaturan Simple Queue
Untuk setiap client, kita harus membuat 2 buah rule simple queue. Pada contoh berikut ini, kita akan melakukan limitasi untuk IP client 192.168.0.2/32, dan kita akan memberikan limitasi iix (up/down) sebesar 64k/256k, dan untuk internasional sebesar (up/down) 32k/128k.

[admin@MikroTik]> /queue simple pr
Flags: X – disabled, I – invalid, D – dynamic
0 name=”client02-iix” target-addresses=192.168.0.2/32
dst-address=0.0.0.0/0 interface=all parent=none
packet-marks=packet-iix direction=both priority=8
queue=default-small/default-small limit-at=0/0
max-limit=64000/256000 total-queue=default-small

1 name=”client02-intl” target-addresses=192.168.0.2/32
dst-address=0.0.0.0/0 interface=all parent=none
packet-marks=packet-intl direction=both priority=8
queue=default-small/default-small limit-at=0/0
max-limit=32000/128000 total-queue=default-small

Pengecekan Akhir
Setelah selesai, lakukanlah pengecekan dengan melakukan akses ke situs lokal maupun ke situs internasional, dan perhatikanlah counter baik pada firewall mangle maupun pada simple queue.
Anda juga dapat mengembangkan queue type menggunakan pcq sehingga trafik pada setiap client dapat tersebar secara merata.
