I personally have my doubts that this has to do with hardware, but it very well may have to do with the differing CPU architectures that Mikrotik runs RouterOS on. I don't know if the MIPS/PPC architectures that they have can "do" a 64-bit integer. We're all sure and positive that x86, ARM...

cheeze

Yeah this is one of those things where it's kinda surprising that it hasn't been fixed yet. Does changing the variable type that stores this number from an integer to a double cause an issue within the calculation script?

cheeze

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... To be honest, I think it's both. However I think what you bring up is likely more of the issue though. I wonder if it's worth it for Mikrotik to ...

BGP != Forwarding. BGP is a routing protocol. Multi-threaded BGP is hard, really hard. Juniper do not do it, Cisco IOS/IOS-XE do not do it. Processing the prefixes against all the filters, accross multiple cores and coming out with a result "in order" is very complex. This is purely specu...

Did some more investigation and....this is very different behavior. Did this on a Cisco, on a Juniper, and on a Mikrotik. Change on Cisco or Juniper does *NOT* cause the adjacency to bounce.

Hello everyone. Just wanted to ask if this is a behavior that has been seen here before.

To attempt to bring it back on-topic, bigger CPU cores postpones the need for v7's new routing.

So BE and CS1 are the traffic classifications under the Diffserv QoS model. BE = Best Effort = "It'll get there when it gets there" CS1 = Class 1 = "A little more important than best effort" It's essentially a Diffserv way of implementing the old school IP Precedence marks. http:...

cheeze

So, what I am intending to do is this. If a packet comes into the router as BE, and it leaves out to ISP 1, then I want the connection that it makes under connection tracking to mark the return traffic coming back in from ISP 1 as BE. I'm doing that across all classes. So I was thinking to classify ...

Heya guys. I am trying to remark return traffic with certain DSCP marks based on how it enters the router. I did it two ways, and the first way was more effecient but it didn't mark traffic. The second way I thought would also mark traffic but it does not. The second way is less effecient but I thin...

First thing is first... Please proofread your post before you submit. It doesn't help that we have to decipher what you're trying to say. Secondly, attacking Mikrotik doesn't work. If you don't like something about it, and you feel that strongly then get another vendor. Clearly no one here will conv...

Load V6 RC12 into the router (drop the files in) and then see if you can flash the board firmware.

That way you can upgrade the board firmware, and then when you restart it should be able to start in RC 12? I'm just guestimating this...

Normis/MRZ/Mikrotik crew. I don't know how often this is said but I'm thankful to see that yalls are working your butts off to make this a better product. While I think that there's a lot of frustration that can be seen and is expressed, I still think it's a great product and I plan on buying more o...

I guess I am trying to see if it's possible to call multiple routing filters from within ONE routing filter. Like this /routing filter add action=accept chain="INTERNAL ADVERTISEMENTS" match-chain="VPN HOSTS - EDGE" add action=accept chain="INTERNAL ADVERTISEMENTS" matc...

Heya peeps.... Just had an issue with the firewall filter and maybe I'm not quite understanding the way IPTABLES does firewalling. So my goal is to allow for ICMP traffic destined to the router, but only when sourced from the router. This way the router can source pings/traces/whatever ICMP related ...

Heya Mikrotik peeps/team.

I think we're all super excited over fast-path. I know I am

However I got a quick question. Does this also get engaged on x86? Are the performance boost numbers similar for x86 (50% and up?)?

Was just curious...

Keep up the great work, thank you...

cheeze

Wow cool cool... In upcoming RouterOS v6rc7, you will be able to see if Fastpath is currently active in the “ip settings” menu and in Winbox toolbar. Does this mean per interface? Also thank you so much Normis and Mikrotik team for listening to the request that I put in for that. Yalls are freaking ...

Hello Mikrotik peeps I was just thinking today as I was getting ready to go to lunch. Would it seem reasonable to check which fast path handler is engaged on which interface? So every interface would have all of the fast path handlers that are currently working (IPv4, Traffic Generator, MPLS, Bridge...

So just a quick question on this Mikrotik peeps. I know there was a discussion in regards to the 64 bit version of the code. I see that the TILE architecture is set to be 64 bit. Is the same opportunity going to occur on x86? It makes more sense for those routers to be 64 bit even more than the Tile...

cheeze

Normis, it might be a smidge premature for me to ask this but I'll try anyway...

As we currently know, firewall is the next thing that is planned for fast switching capabilities (or Fast-Path as Mikrotik calls it). Is there any plans to add other things like say, QoS or IPv6?

cheeze

Heh yes yes yes, you're right. I guess what I am thinking is even after that. I realize that a ton of work/bugs/feature are being ironed out through the RCs. I guess I'm thinking it might be a better idea to spend less time on features and more time on stability/bug fixes. I am definitely NOT the en...

cheeze

Heya peeps at the 'tik :) I was just thinking. After the release of v6, would it be possible to just one version after that to be PURELY just a bug fix release? As in, say 6.1. Can that only be a maintenance release and not a feature release? I realize this is something is strived for on every relea...

cheeze

Will there be an x86_64 version? unfortunately, no. not now I am satisfied with the 32 bit version. Why would you need a different one ? Thanks. for bigger available RAM? :) also, won't 64 instructions help to manage ipv6 addresses a bit faster? %) To also piggy back onto what Chupaka said. Having ...

cheeze

So say one interface has Mangle rules attached, and another one has nothing other than just normal forwarding then........is it enabled on the bare interface and disabled on the DPI interface? Fast Path is disabled when you add any firewall rule. Ok, so then Fast Path is disabled globally on all in...

cheeze

FastPath wont work with connection tracking. So anything that needs conntrack (firewall, mangle, etc.) will "disable" FastPath if you have conntrack in the new Auto mode. Cool cool....that makes sense. So basically if there's anything that uses DPI then FastPath (or Fast-Switching as Cisc...

cheeze

When one says, "No firewall rules" that means any and all configurations that fall under that right?

So no fast path with Mangle and Marking, or if there is an QoS/Queueing?

I'm not meaning to give a hard time. I'm just meaning to get clarification

Thank you Normis and Mikrotik team.

So I changed my config to the following... /queue tree add limit-at=850k max-limit=850k name="Outbound Centurylink - 12mbit down 896kbit up" parent=CENTURYLINK priority=1 add limit-at=850k max-limit=850k name="CS7 outbound traffic - Centurylink" packet-mark="DSCP CS7" p...

cheeze

Ahh you're right. I actually need to set a "max-limit" before the priority field actually gets utilized? So I know that the priority bit doesn't cause the order for them to change on processing (per the manual), but this is what I used as the manual entry: Priority We already know that lim...

This is what I personally use: /queue tree add burst-limit=0 burst-threshold=0 burst-time=0s disabled=no limit-at=850k max-limit=850k name="Outbound Centurylink - 12mbit down 896kbit up" \ packet-mark="" parent=CENTURYLINK priority=1 add burst-limit=0 burst-threshold=0 burst-time...

cheeze

So, kind of a stupid question here on this. However it seems that it IS possible to setup a strict queuing policy. Can't one just setup the classes under the interface and then just put a priority on the classes? Therefore higher classes automatically get serviced first and then the lower classes ge...

Hello Mikrotik peeps. Been using Tiks for a little while and I'm finding them pretty cool. Thanks much for such a cool product :) So something I was thinking about was how there is an offer for SWOS devices that are a few ports. Now that's great for a small switch and for the price/features, it just...
