30,000 PPPoE connections on a MikroTik!!!

30,000 PPPoE connections and simple queues on the CCR1072-1G-8S+.

Preview of testing is here:

interesting to see only 36 cores under load, in my opinion looks like routerOS was optimized for ccr1036 :smiley:

It’s certainly possible, although we did see usage beyond 36 cores when adding more load onto the box.

Great Test.
I hope you put some more details into this.

What is the version used ?

We are working on more in depth testing using radius auth and trying to put throughput on each connection. That all takes a bit of scripting and time to be able to do it on a large scale, but we will have results as soon as possible.

Version is 6.32.3

how about the 1036-16GB-RAM ?
did you ever test it ?
