10G links on 600mbps only

Hi,

Need help here. I just purchased the newly released CCR1072, activated sfpplus3 interface with 5 vlans and necessary IP addresses. sfpplus3 is connected on the next node, 5 km distance, to CRS226-24G-2S+ on sfp-sfpplus1 port with the same vlans but only management vlan has ip. lets say vlan 101 for both devices having 1.1.1.1 and 1.1.1.2 ip addresses.

I am doing btest between these two devices on vlan 101 hoping to achieve 10gbps or close to that but was only getting around 600mbps. I tried other solutions on the forums, traffic control, no auto neg, hardcode duplex, played around all of them but still cant reach past 1Gbps. Can any one give me insights on how to achieve 10G? Thanks.

btest is not designed for such speeds please use Traffic generator . http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:Performance_Testing_with_Traffic_Generator

or iperf http://software.es.net/iperf/

Thanks, unfortunately i dont have 10G pc yet to use for Iperf. Let me read more about traffic generator. Thanks a lot.

This is really great. I can’t seem to change MTU values on the interfaces. Can you help me?

Traffic generator packet sizes can be changed with command
/tool traffic-generator stream set packet-size=

Also to make test more close real life, use random ranges feature in traffic generator, to simulate multiple streams with different source addresses/ ports:

This example show how to create configure TG to send packets with src addresses with range xxx.xxx.xxx.1-xxx.xxx.xxx.21 and also different ports 60000-60005 and 50000-50005
/tool traffic-generator packet-template set [find] random-range=29:8:1-21,34:16:60000-60005,36:16:50000-50005

To use random-ranges upgrade your routerOS to the latest version.
