I have 3 links of 200mb and I would like to know how I can find out what would be the best routerbourd since I’ve been verifying that there are models that do not support this amount of bandwidth. Or rather how do I check routerbourd settings if it supports link above 200mb
Hi
Best routerboard in which aspect(s)? What is important to you? What do you want to achieve?
Go to
Open each router. They have a table, with speeds. Keep in mind that the results are “best case scenario”. As you add services, rules, whatnot, the speed drops.
Things to consider:
- The quoted speed is without NAT.
- The test uses all ports. You will see devices with fast ethernet listed as routing more than 400 Mbps. This is correct: they get this speed using all five available ports.
- Don’t get fooled by numbers. The 2011 series is quite old, and far slower than another lower numbered models. The 1100AHx4 runs circles around them, and I will not even start on the CCRs.
- All Mikrotik routers can use any port as a single one. Even the smaller model can have his ports routing one different network each.
So in this scenario where I have 3 adsl link where each has the 140mb speed the best RB would be the 1100 ?? In the tests results have the options 1518 bytes 512 bytes 64 bytes, what would these comparisons be? Would traffic be simultaneous on all ports with this packet size ??
But for the use of 3 link where the total would give 420mb so balanced the ideal RB would be the 1100 ??
the need would be to do the balancing using 3 link adsl where each link would have 140mb, because I used a RB 750GL and did not give it because it did not exceed the speed of 88mb. So my question is to find out what RB is needed to do this kind of balancing. Well I was surprised with the RB 750GL even though all GIGA ports did not exceed the speed of 88MB. And when I took the RB the micro could do a 12 mb / s downloads and when it went through RB it would be at 8mb / s
Test results show performance with different sizes of packets as packet size is application specific, ex: VOIP will work with small packets, web traffic usually uses the whole packet.
The RB1100 could certainly do the job, and I thinks 3011 could as well (if you don’t have any encrypted traffic).
I really don’t know which one would be best (balance between cost and speed). A 1100 (any of them) would certainly cope with this, and more. There are two 1100 families: 1100AHx2 and 1100AHx4. The first is an older model, and is powered by a dual core PPC. The second one is brand new, and is powered by a quad core ARM. The first is slower, tried and tested, and uses active cooling. The former is newer, with some teething problems, faster and uses passive cooling. Both of them use hardware accelerated IPSec.
Yes, the tests are always done with all ports. The speed reported is the total traffic throughput, running one way (from left ports to right ports, If You will). The bytes are the packet size.
