Re: DNSSEC

+1 for DNSSEC We use DNS on RouterOS as backup DNS server in geographically separated location. But one client using Turris router had weird problems with resolving domain names. Sometimes it worked and sometimes it doesn't. We found out that it was caused by DNSSEC or rather by not having that supp...

Re: NTP client in NTP package not working

Also not working on 6.34.1 and 6.35. And we have two local ntp client -> ntp server proxies which both stopped to working. I don't know between which versions exactly. And we can't use SNTP as we need NTP server at the same time. I don't know how to solve this issue.

Re: New wireless protocol: Nv2 in v5.0beta5

Testing indoor on PtP link on v5.0rc1, both chains active, bridge mode, throughput is pretty good, stability seems to be much better than older nstream, latency is better but still pretty higher than to be expected from fast link without traffic. It is possible to further improve and lower latency? ...

Re: Gigabit PCI card recommendations?

PCI bus have theoretical shared throughput 33 MHz * 32bit = 1 Gbit which means gigabit half duplex. Then better to use some PCIe card with PCIe v1 250 MB/s or PCIe v2 500 MB/s per line. Then server with common gigabit ethernet could have integrated PCIe like RTL8111/8168B PCI Express Gigabit Etherne...
