BW TEST not go more than 1G with TCP

RouterOS General
1

Hello

i’m testing in the LAB diffrent Mikrotik boards " CCR 1036 , CCR 1016 and X86 " , the test is to do bandwidth test inside the router

Router IP : 10.0.0.1/30 and the BW test from inside the router to 10.0.0.1 , with UDP i can get up to 3Gbps but with TCP i can not get more than 1Gbps ??

is there something to do with the TCP test to get better results ?
is this will cause that MT can not pass more than 1Gbps TCP in production network ?


appreciate any response .


Thanks

NOTHING ???!!!

If you have CCR, then you should have some knowledge about networking. You can’t say just “is not working more than 1gbps”. Details are everything.
Check cpu usage…

for sure i’m aware about this and i have checked the CPU already it was not more than 12%

you can simply do BW test to the router from inside and see by urself :frowning:

I believe to be effective, you’re supposed to run the test from an external device to an external device through the device under test (i.e. to measure throughput on your CCR, you need a bandwidth test server and client connected through the CCR, rather than testing to/from the CCR itself to your machine or one other mikrotik device.

It’s probably also quite hard to measure this sort of throughput without having several devices set up like that given the gigabit limit on the ports. And the end devices have to be capable of pushing that many packets too!

Finally, if you’re doing any sort of filtering/mangling etc, I suspect you’ll not be able to get “line speed” through the device.

I have, unfortunately, no experience with the CCR series, but this sort of thing holds true in the rest of the mtk range. I can’t really get any more than about just under 600mbit through a 1000AHx2 (with firewall rules enabled) to a speedtest server.

The Major problem is i have CCR as core router , 2 interfaces been bonding to carry traffic 1700 Mbps .
the bonding interface can not pass more than 1000 Mbps " 500 Mbps each interface , means load balance working " .
that’s why i have checked from/to the router to make sure .

i already made several tests , CCR to CCR , CCR in between two routers and all give same results .


Thanks

1st of all - forget about bandwidth-test that tool is very old - my btest.exe file hasn’t changed for last 4 Windows versions.
All tests are now done by traffic generator:

This is how MT is testing themselves:

I really love the option where you can sniff file on your PC and then later Inject that file into traffic generator and run traffic that you actually have in your network while testing.
