Re: DNS utilization

Is this still the current behavior, as of 6.41 (jan/2018?)
No.

That concurrent hardcoded limit was removed some versions ago, and as sebastia posted now you can set up the max concurrent queries limit at will.

Good decision to remove the hardcoded limit of 100 queries.

Re: DNS utilization

In RouterOS 6.x DNS cache is limited to 100 concurrent requests. To serve more requests you have to have very fast parent and/or you have to set up a quite large cache to ensure that DNS names are resolved as fast as possible if the answer is not in the cache. And regarding how servers for queries ...

Re: Feature Request: Application Level Firewall

I think a Mikrotik API plugin for snort would be a nice feature, so that if a snort box decides to blacklist some address, it can send it to Mikrotik routers using API calls for adding them to an address-list. Ideally, the ability to place BGP -> address-list will be available in ROSv7, which will ...

Re: OID of total CPU usage on CCR

New in 6.34::

total cpu load OID 1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.11.52.0
From where you got that OID?

Can MikroTik staff confirm that the above OID provides total CPU load? Because I don't see this OID mentioned anywhere?

Can this OID be used for monitoring total CPU load on x86 RouterOS?

Above mentioned is exactly true. If any certificate provider tells you to install their CA certificate anywhere then don't buy from them.

Apart from this, let us know how your installation works after you have installed the purchased certificate.

Re: 10Gbps Real Life Performance

So here the question is - are 40Gbps interfaces supported by x86 RouterOS?

And also how much memory can we install on x86 RouterOS systems? You mentioned it can only see 2GB, but I see CCR spec sheet mentioning it can support up to 16GB. How is this possible if both of them are running the RouterOS?
