Limit bandwidth on a Mikrotik router by port number

bandwidth-controlmikrotik

I have this one Mikrotik router (RB951G-2HnD) that serves as a main router with port forwarding for HTTP/HTTPS and Plex to a server behind NAT. Now since there isn't much upload bandwidth (15Mbps), I'd love to limit the bandwith for HTTP/HTTPS on the WAN interface so that there's some bandwidth left for Plex. I've been looking in /queue but haven't seen anything that limits by port number.

This is described here

First you need to mark your packets. And to mark you can use port number

/ip firewall mangle
add action=mark-packet chain=forward dst-port=80 new-packet-mark=http passthrough=no protocol=tcp
add action=mark-packet chain=forward dst-port=443 new-packet-mark=https passthrough=no protocol=tcp

And then you can do traffic shaping on those marked packets

Below is also a very good and simple example
