I am enjoying reading this thread an I like the numbers you are seeing out of single thread sessions on the x86 units. I also have had some frustration with the CCR and single thread TCP and single core BGP however I manage that the best I can. The issues I have had in the past with x86 hardware (i cant find the data at the moment) has always been once you get into larger session counts, the x86 PCIe/bus/north/south bridge just cant cope and you start bogging machines down. This used to be a big issue and one of the reasons I moved to the CCR over x86. This is not something I have tested recently and may be fixed, but thought that while we are all looking at single and 8-12 thread performance, should really look at what happens when you put lots of big session counts into these things as well before you commit to one over another. My 2 cents. Thanks Daniel On Wed, Oct 21, 2015 at 8:52 AM, Alex Samad - Yieldbroker < Alex.Samad@yieldbroker.com> wrote:
Hmm, I didn't test ipv6, but I would presume so.

Out of interest, is it the same for IPv6?

Hi
I have to admit it was a while ago. Also I looked through the slides from Melbourne they mentioned it would be fixed in 7 ... soon :)
I had 2 VM's which were able to iperf 9.8Gb/s tcp. Place the CCR in the middle and it dropped to 1Gb/s. if I started 8 parralel tcp streams I go 8Gb/s

Not sure if this dup or not ..

What routerOS version shows that behaviour? I know that there has been a heap of work done on multi-core queue architecture since around 6.20 to 6.28
- they claim enormous performance boost (like up to 15 times faster!) in high traffic situation.
Also, make sure that your testing methodology does not introduce some limitation. Btest, for example, is limited to 1 cpu, so if your btest client pegs a CPU, it is not necessarily indicative of a limitation with routing ;-)
Cheers!
Mike.

Hi
So was that a yes or no
http://forum.mikrotik.com/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=82359 << this is a
thread I started, I have read other threads about it. Seems to be
based around the fact the CCR code base it not multi threaded another
example being the BGP
as for http://forum.mikrotik.com/viewtopic.php?t=62377 not sure what I
was supposed to get from that, those where not CCR's
sorry maybe im missing something ?

Question were you able to get above 1Gb single tcp stream on the CCR.
When I was testing on my ccr36 I could never get a single tcp stream
above
1Gb/s
