MikroTik

I think the Mikrotik fast past is based on dpdk......

I am fairly certain that they do NOT use dpdk. If they did, one of your CPU cores would be pegged at 100%

Just an FYI there are more modern and better replacements for DPDK that are now built into the Linux Kernel like io_uring and eBPF that do not peg CPU cores at 100% to handle interrupts.

Mikrotik would be wise to use these.

v6.49beta is out and it fixes 9 issues introduced in v6.48. Haven't tested it properly yet, but it can't be worse than 6.48.... right?

That is my theory too !

Surely.... :)

With the prevalence of IKEv2 everywhere in the last few years, VTI is indeed a must-have now. The fact that people have been asking in this topic for VTI for 8 years hopefully shows there is a substantial demand for it. Given how trivial it is to implement VTI now that they are running a 5.x Kernel...

+1

I support this as well.

I have asked in the past and was told IS-IS was not on the roadmap due to lack of demand. Hopefully this thread can show Mikrotik how much demand is really out there.

G.8032v2 was on the roadmap. Maybe the Mikrotik guys can provide a status update ?

Is anyone else seeing port-flapping with 7.1b3 on RB3011's ?

*) arm - improved system stability;

Can you elaborate please? Does this fix the 4011 & 1100AHx4 management lockouts?

Yes, I believe this fix is for the RB4011 / RB1100AHx4 issues

All I know is that an EAP245 from TPLINK easily outperforms a capac.

I cant believe it is 2020 and Mikrotik are still using a 2.5dBi antenna on the 5Ghz radio. It should be 4dBi minimum. This will provide better performance for a wide range of devices.

I have formally requested Mikrotik add modern telemetry in the form of gRPC

Adding MQTT support from this point would be trivial.

Yes, in ROSv7.

Thank you for the confirmation Maris.

I logged on to the forum to ask for an update on this, and you just happened to have posted it!

Operating at these speeds requires some serious engineering, fully redundant "non stop" fabric, separate control & data-planes (and preferably redundant offcourse)

Cool, how much do you want to pay ?

"In the near future, the network will be upgraded to a 100 Gbps data transfer rate, using MikroTik devices that will be released soon."

😲 😲 😲

I see this as being more useful as a port extender to CCR's, to say break out a 100Gbit port on a CCR to 10gigabit ports on the CRS.

Port Extension is NOT stacking...

They certainly are trying hard to become a software and services company and they recently discussed the idea of buying core network hardware "as a service" in response to the stock falling. I think many customers are tired of the "As a Service model" mainly due to public cloud....

The Marvell Cavium Octeon TX2 CN9132 is the best choice for Design2. My only concern was the cost of it compared to the Armada 8040. I know Mikrotik have been very "cost sensitive" on this tier of products in the past. But maybe it's time to spend a few extra $ to get a much more powerful ...

I really agree for your suggestion. But how about your design 2 but marvell 88E6390X + AL21400? Then there would be nice ipsec power too. The Marvell SOC's have hardware crypto too... The reason I didn't suggest the AL21400 is that it's 32bit, puts out a lot of heat, and all of Mikrotiks Annapurna ...

This IPFIX issue was fixed YEARS ago. Maybe there was a regression!

I agree with the points you all have raised. However they would require much higher cost SOC's e.g. Marvell Octeon TX2 (CN9132) that have more 10Gigabit ports, and would use more power and generate more heat. I tried to make a suggestion that is realistic based on low cost SoC's and will be a nice u...

Hi Leandro, There are some _major_ issues with MPLS in RouterOS v6.

It is usable for basic stuff like VPLS, but it is all done 100% ...

.

On another topic, does anyone know if v7.1 has a working i40e driver? I was thinking of buying an Intel card for use with SR-IOV.

Yes, it does.

There are a LOT of options... Traco, Meanwell, Delta are quite common and you can buy din-mount so you could for example have a AC-DC 48volt PSU mounted beside a 48volt to 24volt DC-DC converter for a tidy setup that will be feed the NetPower with multiple voltages.

Probably you have to generate far more sessions in order to see the other cores working. we did some throughput tests with the CCR2004 - running 6.48b12. it actually performed quite well, we were able to reach peak ipv4 routing throughput of 32Gbps with just 8 streams. as for ipv6, the picture is a...

By BGP signalled VXLAN, I assume you mean eVPN ??

If so, I _really_ want this feature. It would be one of my Top10 feature requests for RouterOS v7 in the medium term.

The IEEE 802.1BR support added to 6.48beta12 will eventually give us that, and more: *) crs3xx - added initial Bridge Port Extender support (CLI only); *) crs3xx - added initial Controlling Bridge support for CRS317, CRS309, CRS312, CRS326-24S+2Q+ and CRS354 devices (CLI only); A full IEEE 802.1BR ...

a new 64bit ARM with lower heat output would be my #1 requested feature, closely followed by a better switch chipset e.g. Marvell Linkstreet series (the Realtek's suck)

Also how do you do passive interface as the default? It used to be possible to add interface=all and set passive=yes. Does that still work to make passive the default?

I too want to know this. At first glance the new implementation seems like a step backwards from v6.

Hey there. This year is my 21st year of working in computer networking professionally.

Frankly since 802.11n, but I am curious what exactly they fixed.

*) improved large table loading speed in RouterOS v7;

Interesting, it seems like that changelog entry is hinting at new RouterOS v7 functionality coming soon.

Mikrotik have the development smarts to cleanly integrate WireGuard into RouterOS, and now that it has been mainlined I would not be surprised if we see it in the very near future.

Yes we are aware of route selection problems in VRFs, unfortunately you will have to wait for ROS v7 updates.

Hi Rich,

Yes that sounds like a related issue.

Email support@mikrotik.com and let them know. They cant do anything to fix it in RouterOS v6, but hopefully it will put a little pressure on them to get v7 routing out the door.

It looks like it is Qualcomm based.

Too hard to tell if it's a new SoC, or just a revision of the ac2 with LTE.

smb on a security device is just crazy. It should be entirely removed from RouterOS. That's what nas devices are made for, firewalled behind the router.

I cannot agree more !

Email support@mikrotik.com and request IPv6 FastPath support.

I just used the Marvell Prestera's as an example, because I know the ASIC's are capable of it, and that Mikrotik are familiar with them due to their use in CRS3xx series.

They have a very nice portfolio of Octeon TX2 processors that would be great in a new line-up of CCR's

I see you are new around here

Out of interest have you tried this on the RouterOS v7 beta releases ?

The key thing to allow scalability of VXLAN in Metro Ethernet and Datacentre/Cloud is eVPN support.

Hopefully Mikrotik Product Manager's understand this.

Not all CRS3xx hardware has VXLAN support in the ASIC. CRS309 and CRS317 do. CRS326 and CRS354 do not. Interesting. So the 98DX82xx ASICs do VXLAN, but the 98DX32xx & 98DX83xx don't? I can't find that anywhere, and on the main PresteraDX page Marvell seems to claim VXLAN support for the entire ...

Not all CRS3xx hardware has VXLAN support in the ASIC.

CRS309 and CRS317 do.

CRS326 and CRS354 do not.

Now that VxLAN is supported in v7, EVPN would be fantastic to have as well to use as a control plane for VxLAN and for multihoming. Agreed. But only a limited number of CRS3xx series support VXLAN/MPLS in hardware, so in my opinion both eVPN and MC-LAG are needed. eVPN for devices supporting MPLS/V...

We are researching ways how to implement MC-LAG

It would be great to see if Mikrotik could include intel's DPDK for the intel NIC's in ROS 7 at a later stage, this would allow ROS to scale up past 100Gbps routing with ease. It's not as simple as just "including DPDK". DPDK is a kernel bypass mechanism where the packets are passed strai...

This can be achieve on Linux using the macvlan kernel module.

Hopefully we see this in RouterOS v7

MC-LAG is a "must have" for CRS3xx I really hope Mikrotik add it soon.

ERPS is on the roadmap AFAIK....

Mikrotik support have stated in the past that they could not add IPSEC VTI support due to kernel limitations, and that they would reconsider once RouterOS v7 was out. Well, v7 beta is now out....

The 802.11ax (Wifi6) SoC's are not available in quantity from Qualcomm yet.. They are sampling, and shipping in low quantity but that is it.

What RouterOS version are you running ?

I think there's a high risk that some architectures/platforms will be stuck on ROS v6 for flash-size and toolchain reasons. v7 will probably be ARM and x86_64 only, and will probably lack some features thats simply not portable (I guess MPLS- and tunnel stuff).

This is my expectation as well.

I have dealt with two people at Mikrotik in regards to MPLS over the past 5 years. In the last 2 years though I have only dealt with one. Mikrotik support seem to allocate certain engineers to the more specialist areas e.g. wireless and MPLS. For other areas I have had responses from many different...

One of the selling points is performance. Especially on embedded devices userspace is not okay.

Most high performance packet forwarding is done in user space!

Check out VPP, DPDK and OFP

You can buy 802.11ax routers on the shelf in retail stores already, yet zero communication from Mikrotik about their timeline... this is rather worrying.

It's only one month until the EU MUM. Maybe they will announce some 802.11ax gear.

Mikrotik should not allow nv2 to be selected on 802.11ac hardware.

It is clearly broken, why even give the customer the option of being disappointed

I prefer this design personally:

The concept is very creative, but in a "real world" deployment it would be a nightmare to cable.

I would prefer the traditional 96port 2RU option.

Thanks guys.

40gig is older generation now. No new gear is coming out with 40G on it any more, everything new is 100G QSFP28 as the chipsets cost the same whether they have 40G or 100G ports. Also, the carrier/service provider industry has never embraced 40G, it has always been 10G, 25G, 100G, 200G and now 400G.

rc45 contains Nv2+ARM fix. It will be released within the next 24 hours.

Thanks Normis. Great effort from the team at Mikrotik.

I am looking forward to testing NV2+ARM performance on the OmniTIK 5 PoE ac2

This bug has been driving me insane for the last 8 years. It is like Mikrotik's routing developer left 8 years ago. There have been only minor bug fixes, and no improvements to BGP/OSPF/RIPv2/PIM/LDP/RSVP in this time period, even when there are a large number of repeatable bugs. It is extremely fru...

I think everyone in this thread appreciates VERY MUCH that LLDP is implemented at all. And I personally thank the MKT team a lot for this. But I think all of us here wish the work on LLDP would continue, since there is still a lot that can be improved. Also separation of LLDP from MNDP would probab...

The cAP ac and hAP ac2 are beasts from a processing perspective, but their RF performance leaves a LOT to be desired.

With a cAP ac in a 3 bedroom townhouse with wooden walls, I can barely use 5Ghz in the room next to the cAP ac

Please clarify "not doing anything"? LLDP initial support was added in 2016-Sep-30 RouterOS is still missing LLDP-MED which allows the router/switch to signal to VoIP phones which vlan they need to use. This is one of the main reasons for using LLDP, and is a standard feature on switches.

A little bug, When running 6.43rc42 on a cAP AC running "/system health print" outputs nothing, and the health menu is gone from WinBox.

I have a crazy feature request.

Abandon the current GUI framework that WinBox is using and move to QT. Yes, I know it will be a LOT of work, but it will make life easier for Mikrotik developers, and allow Mikrotik to add more features in the long run.

Nv2 improvments and 60GHZ gears says that there is a new hope

60Ghz progress is amazing.

In 5Ghz I am very hopeful we can see NV2 matching AirMAX and AIP performance.

CHR does not support FastPath, yet...

#soon

So my big question is: Is it the problem in CRS317 or in CCR1072, or maybe the mix of both? I think it has some relationship with bonding... We have about 30 x CCR's installed in exactly this fashion, Bonding interface with LACP to a switch (Extreme x620/x670 and Juniper EX4550) and have not experi...

Did a quick look in the current RC with initial qinq support and then what port settings for stack trunk or stack access. setting vlans marking them as outer q? no. MT Will this surface later in the development or did you not think this through? I requested these features as soon as rumors of the C...

Mikrotik have been too busy implementing "kid control"

You can buy a used Cisco for dirt cheap these days, just do that if you need a LAC

It's more like 6 years....

IPSEC is not accelerated on the hAP ac or hAP ac Lite.

The new hAP ac2 does however have HW IPSEC acceleration

Also add to firewall address-list from routing filter and isolated VRFs

These are my top requests also

I am waiting for "new routing" they could call it "RouterOS Flying Sphagetti Monster" for all I care, as long as it has the new routing engine in it.

At first I was frustrated, but then I saw the funny side of it :) They only added the feature 3 weeks ago, we are probably the only people to test it. I would say everyone who tries to use this feature will give them the same feedback. I purchased a CRS317 specifically to test this feature and provi...

It is not possible to tag SVID and CVID with 0x8100 on CRS3xx using 6.43, and Mikrotik support don't seem to believe me that this is the most common method for QinQ.

Please email support@mikrotik.com and let them know you need it too.

To keep you guys busy with speculations

Thank you Maris

My cAP AC are performing flawlessly with a variety of devices including Macbook,'s, Thinkpad's, iPhones, Samsung tablet, One plus phones.

I can't wait until the Omnitik AC POE, Dynadish, hEX POE are updated with this CPU

I agree with almost everything @brotherdust has said above, his comments match my own feelings on the current state of Mikrotik. I have been a huge fan of Mikrotik's RouterOS, but I am using it less and less. The service provider market has kept evolving but RouterOS has not evolved with it. Mikroti...

Sten is correct. Interface MTU is irrelevant when the packet egressing is an MPLS labelled packet. I usually make the MTU the same as my MPLS mtu purely to make fault finding easier e.g. If 1530 byte packet with DF bit set will traverse the path than 1530byte MPLS packet should, if it wont pass the...

Sorry to pitch in on a 10 (yes 10!) year old thread but can Mikrotik give us ANY indication of v7 or LAC function being implemented? PLEASE NTB Hi NTB. Your best bet would be to email support@mikrotik.com - The forum is for User to User support, while the Mikrotik guys do post here, the official ch...

Oh how I wish Mikrotik would implement this !

I lost 10MB of disc space when I upgraded from RC19 to RC21 on a CCR. Ive seen this same thing on PPC and MIPSBE.. MT Support replicated it and is working on it. After a few upgrades or downgrades you can run out of space and then the only thing you can do is Netinstall as your stuck on whatever ve...

All those photos of you in Hawaii and not one of them showing you in a swimsuit at the beach. For shame

+1

+1 from me

That looks like a nice product. I think sticking within the Marvell/Cavium portfolio may be better for Mikrotik, commercially and technically. They will only need to develop against one switch vendors ABI, and get better purchasing power if they are buying SoC and switch ASIC from the same vendor. M...

For the CRS305-1G-4S+IN, it mentions "Support for high speed ring topology", can there be a little more said for that? Does it do something with TRILL like the IgniteNet MeshLinq switch? I'll second that. Would be nice to know if it supports something beyond (R)STP like for example Metro ...

False, they use there own driver, based on open source and not the closed source one from Qualcomm, that is the reason we missing Spectral Scan etc..... I'm no authority on the matter, but my understanding is that Mikrotik use a closed source driver that uses code from Qualcomm as well as their own...

v7 is only a number. What do you expect from a number change? All I expect from MIKROTIK is the NV2 working and soho ap. Version numbers are not interested. There is a lot that is expected from v7 beyond the fluffy stuff Mikotik keep back porting to v6. Just a small selection: 4.x Linux Kernel * IP...

Doing MPLS/VPLS and VXLAN in Hardware on switches is a HUGE opportunity for Mikrotik to carve out a niche.

I know if this was supported, I wouldn't be buying 1 or 2 switches per year, it would be hundreds if not thousands of switches per year.

I am still not sure why Mikrotik didn't go with IP Infusion....

That is not the problem.

The problem is getting a modern kernel that boots on all of the platforms while supporting hardware offloads.

Just my opinion...

The security issues are happening too frequent on MikroTik recently...

It is just that with Mikrotik's increasing popularity, hackers are now targeting RouterOS. Exploits exist on all equipment, just look at Cisco and Fortinet if you want an example...

IS-IS can scale much larger than OSPF due to the way it designs the hierarchy of flooding domains and by using Incremental SPF. This is why it's used as the IGP of choice for most large ISPs and Data Centers I have an ISP customer with around 200 POP's and OSPF scalability is a real problem. We hav...

I also have a ticket open for the same problem.

I have not had an update for around 5 months.

I think the real answer has to be yes.
If I were Mikrotik, I would move to ARM by now.
And thats what they will do.

I agree Mikrotik should move as much as possible to ARM.

Mikrotik CCR is the only commercial use of the Tile architecture I am aware of

Are people seeing improvements with 802.11ac or is this 802.11n only ?

In what universe can you actually reach 200Mbit in ptmp? We have a problem getting 200Mbit even in ptp. (N, 20/40-Ce) 200Mbit in TCP. Of course, with the growing number of clients, the chart is real. We had a 6km PtP link doing 200mbit TCP with 802.11n using Jirous 24dBi dishes. Doing it on PTMP th...

Please email support@mikrotik.com and let them know you want this feature.

There are several "Fast Path" style code examples for this from OpenFastPath/ODP teams, Open vSwitch and FD.io

Hopefully we see VXLAN and eVPN support soon.

Configman and 3x wAP - all great. TX up 100mbit/s depending on the quality signal This same config in configman and connected only new 3x cAP (tyhsi same metod, vlan for capsman) - Tx under 10mbit/s when -49dB quality. Not good. Support whats going one ? Capsman, wAP and cAP in version 6.41.2 and t...

I think it may be worth to proceed with extensive security audit of Mikrotik BGP implementation... It's not Quagga! Also, I can see some clear misunderstanding. BGP is a routing "control" protocol. It does no forwarding of packets so changing/upgrading BGP engine will have no effect on th...

Prior to 4.x Mikrotik were using Quagga, but I believe the current BGP implementation was developed in-house.

I would not be surprised if Mikrotik are using parts of Quagga with some additional in-house developed modules, the zserv API makes that easy....

I was about to post what I thought was important, then realized boen_robot has written everything I was going to

So +1 to everything he said..

Please would MikroTik consider allowing us to set granular pps (packets per second) filtering on ports, instead of percentage. 1% of 10 Gbps is still 100 Mbps, this would rapidly exhaust MAC address tables and take the network offline. +1 Please do this!! On our Extreme and Juniper switches we set ...
