Connecting to a CCR configured as PPPoE Server (about 130 active clients),
Winbox session generate heavy traffic, about 3 Mbps.

This is a problem for me, when I access to one or more CCR via VPN...

Can you help me to reduce Winbox session traffic?

Screenshot

amount of traffic is proportional to the amount of information winbox is updating for display

less information you are showing on winbox = less traffic

for example firewall connection list of 1000 active connections easily generates 2mbit of traffic

logs in memory are loaded to winbox when you login

in your case i think looking the information of a lot pppoe connections generates a lot of traffic


i think is normal, because winbox shows information almost real-time, because winbox is for management not for monitoring

for monitoring snmp works very well and do not consume a lot of traffic

another way to reduce bandwidth consumption is managing by console (text)

Use webfig to avoid it!

I need to use Winbox.
I don't use Webfig.

Don't leave so many windows open at the same time - that's about the only thing you can do.

It's too simply, no sessions, no traffic... but I need to open many Winbox session
at same time on many PPPoE server for management and diagnostic.

Mikrotik, have you in roadmap some compression or some optimization
for reducing session traffic?

Sure, no sessions, no traffic... no infos, no traffic... I know that session traffic
is proportonal at number of real-time item... It is normal, sure, this is ok.

I use console when I need console.
I use Webfig when I need simply access to Routerboard (I don't like WEB GUI for some critical activities).
I use SNMP for monitoring... but, sometime, I need to open many Winbox session at same time
on many PPPoE server for real-time diagnostic.

Also, when I simply configuring Routerboard, Winbox generate many traffic... always...

My question is for Winbox: Mikrotik, have you in roadmap some compression or some optimization
for reducing Winbox session traffic?
Or make Winbox to sent only informations of opened/visible windows?
Other solutions?

Tnx to all

+1 for compression/optimization of winbox traffic

or maybe some guidelines to improve the use of winbox to this situations

Mikrotik, any ideas?

tnx
