I ended up with two cAP AC units for testing, and they will serve my needs. They are running RouterOS 7.12 with a default configuration and a couple changes. ZeroTier is installed, and bridged to the Ethernet port. The Wi-Fi radios are turned off. Speed testing from external routerBOARDs through the...

uberdome

In the ZeroTier status, there is a flag for DHCP. What does this represent? Does ZeroTier have the ability to hand out addresses over the bridge, or is it something else?

That sounds like it... netinstall vs manual be one way they change IDs. It could also be if you had a SIM installed, perhaps the LTE comes up before ethernet, but dunno. Couple ways to check 1. compare "/interface/print"'s output with "/interface/print oid"... Thank you for the ...

Ok - so I can keep it as-is without missing anything.

But that also leads to the question: does that mean I can move to a "stable" v7 and have matching functionality?

I seem to recall The Dude changelog was separated from the primary changelog. However, I can't seem to find that any longer.

I'll stop quoting in this thread for your benefit. I make it a practice to quote so my responses are clear (as it is so often that responses are unclear).

btest is already integrated. Why have a second tool for the same ?

btest is useful, but iperf has more functionality. Also, iperf is a common linux tool that works with many other networking devices.

uberdome

Containers make a lot possible. A simple Linux environment, install iperf and off you go. I agree, but containers are only available on certain implementations and are going to be less resource-efficient than having such a feature integrated. Since so many devices have it integrated, it makes more ...

uberdome

It would be awesome to have this tool available. I imagine it could eventually take the place of bandwidth test / btest with a command line and WinBox version. There are many circumstances where I want to test performance to or from various parts of a network that support iperf.

uberdome

IP-SLA would be very useful. I'm specifically interested in the VoIP RTP packet / MOS report that Cisco offers.

Thank you very much - NetEm provides the exact functionality I was looking for!

It would be nice if it was exposed in RouterOS, but I'll just setup a separate system for it for now.

I made a mistake in my command. It is actually working as expected. The correct command is:

MikroTik, I would really like to see a chart that shows features in The Dude v6 and their status in v7. I'm picturing something similar to the "Routing Protocol Overview". You have done a very nice job with that chart ( https://help.mikrotik.com/docs/display/ROS/Routing+Protocol+Overview )...

I cannot speak for MLAG, but regarding L3HW: SWOS operates on L2 only; it does not support routing, and, therefore, it cannot do L3 HW offloading. I thought SwOS was "hardware only" rather than "L2 only". That is why I had hopes that the hardware based L3 features might be inclu...

SwOS is designed for very basic switching use cases - i'd be very surprised if MLAG and L3 made it in there.

I am very excited about the recent additions of MLAG and L3 Hardware Offload in v7 beta.

I have also recently become excited about how well SwOS works. I'd like to know: is there any expectation of implementing MLAG and/or L3 Hardware Offload in SwOS?
