Morning All!

I was very excited when I took at look at the Changelog for rc8 and saw initial Openflow support ... but now Changelog has been updated and that's no longer visible ....

I'd appreciate being involved in any Openflow testing

both rc8 and rc9 downloads contain 'openflow' package which you need to install for OpenFlow support

I am sending graphics of the CPU load on CCR1036 in three cases:

RouterOS v6.0rc7 Conntrack disabled


RouterOS v6.0rc9 Conntrack disabled


RouterOS v6.0rc9 firmware 3.04.2 Conntrack disabled



About 5k users, static routes, BGP and couple of IP based firewall rules.

I think that there is still a lot of work in order to do better load balance on the CPU cores.

I haven't seen any problem with the router except sometimes I don't get readings thru SNMP. I didn't had this problem with other Mikrotik routers and the older RouterOS even if their CPU-s were working at higher load then on the CCR.

Quite right - unwrapped my CCR1036 this morning, installed RC9 and saw the Openflow package

Here is the little information on how to use Openflow on RouterOS.

You can contact support to get more details.

Hello all,

I found this problem in RC9: When PPP tunnel was established, two mangle rules (changing MTU) are added. But on the end (not at first position) of existing rules in chain forward. When some rule before them accepts packet, they avoid changing MTU and communication is faulty.
I must manually move change MTU rules before others in forward chain.

I am not 100% sure, but in previous version (RC7 and older) I hadn't problem with this (changing MTU rule was at first postition).
(tested on RB751G)

The change MSS rules are in the "Mangle" table, while the other forward rules go into the "Filter" table.
According to the netfilter metamodel, mangle rules are applied before filter and NAT rules.

You can check this out here:
http://www.shorewall.net/NetfilterOverv ... l#Overview

So the position of change MTU in regard to other rules doesn't actually matter.
Unless there's an implementation fault.

The change MSS rules are in the "Mangle" table, while the other forward rules go into the "Filter" table.
According to the netfilter metamodel, mangle rules are applied before filter and NAT rules.

I means rules in mangle table, in forward chain. I have packet marking rules (due traffic shaping).

But now I look in to other Mikrotiks with older firmwares (5.22) and Change MSS rules are on the end of table too. So this is not new in rc9, I must reorganize rules in mangle.

I need help, I need the firewall mangle functions, global out, and in global, however do not have the RC9?, in version 5.22 has my works normal full cache without them without full cache.

rc10 has been released. please continue discussion in that topic, after you have upgraded. thanks!
