Issue:
PPPoE rate limiting isn’t working correctly in 6.34.4 and even more so in 6.35RC45
Description:
This is a simple site with the router setup only to route between the backhaul segment and the sector segment for that tower with PPPoE server running on the sector network segment.
We were testing both of these firmware version at a low client load tower site that was running 6.28 normally.
We upgraded to 6.34.4 and added:
/ip firewall filter add action=fasttrack-connection chain=forward comment="defconf: fasttrack" connection-state=established,related
After this the client testing would max out the available capacity during a speed test on the downstream but match the speed plan correctly on the upstream. (85Mbps/4Mbps)
So we upgraded to 6.35RC45:
After this the client testing would max out the available capacity during a speed test for both downstream and upstream. (~85Mbps/~65Mbps)
Then we downgraded to 6.28:
After this the clients speed plan functioned normally with rate limiting. (~8Mbps/~4Mbps)
Versions affected:
6.34.4, 6.35RC45, and possibly more 6.3X versions
