Hello
I have test RB1200 with 5.5 lvl6
I have run several throughput tests and i have some questions:
1. Why did you build such great board with 10 Gbit when maxim throughput it's only 2.4Gbps?
2. If i connect 2 hosts into mikrotik rb1200 i obtain 1GB throughput both ways.
I have tested throughput between hosts with 1 cable connected to each other they have 2Gbps throughput both ways.
So i have like 500 Mbps max throughput between 2 ports with mikrotik and even more i it's not a symmetric upload/download bandwidth but more like 850Mbps download / 15Mbps upload
3. Going farther after configuring VPLS i have like 800-850Mbps throughput one way so it's like i will always have ~~400Mbps both way on 2 ports connected between 2 mikrotik routers.
i have PC-----Mikrotik-vpls-----------------vpls-Mikrotik----PC
At ~~450Mbps both way traffic cpu load it's almost all the time 95-100%
Conclusion i have only 450Mbps max troughput through VPLS tunnel on a switch with 2.4 capable throughput with 10 x Gbit port
4. You shoud definitely add new hardware capable of large throughput with 2Gbps trafic both way /port
5. I install mikrotik OS 5.5 on a intel board server with xeon x3430 with 4GB DDR3 RAM.
We have test several ethernet chipsets from your supported hardware list and there are no capability of increasing MTU L2/L3 over 1500bytes even if with linux we could increase it to 7000 bytes.
It is very important this thing because if we cannot increase MTU on other platforms other than router board, we have no choice and no hope to have bigger throughput than 400-450 Mbps on a vpls tunnel with any mikortik OS.
6. My question is simple: How do i get bigger throughput with mikrotik ROS?
What hardware did you test and what was your results about throughput? (any kind of hardware not only router board)
Thank you very much.
