CCR 100% on all cores, Queue tree -PCQ

RouterOS General

Hello,

I had CCR1016-12G tried Routeros 6.23, 6.30.2 and 6.33.3 with the same problem,

following config:

add name=pon_econ packet-mark=pon_econ_pack parent=total_down_geo queue=pon_econ
add name=pon_stand packet-mark=pon_stand_pack parent=total_down_geo queue=pon_stand


if I disable econ_down_geo or stand_down_geo CPU is <30% if enable any of these two all CPU cores are at 100%
I even put there CCR1036 configured it via CLI and result is the same,

Mikrotik, anyone can you help to fix this?

I have experienced such problems on CCRs while using prerouting in mangle.
The solution for me was to increase output queue of the outgoing interface, like that:

Create a queue type:
/queue type
add kind=pfifo name=custom_pfifo pfifo-limit=1000

Apply it to an outgoing interface:
/queue interface
set ether1 queue=custom_pfifo

You can play here with pfifo-limit value to find best match for you, but don’t set it to high ; )

thank you for suggestion

separate traffic over multiple HTB trees, each HTB tree is limited to 1 CPU core, it other cores start to wait on traffic from that core you will get that load. so 1 step is to have queue tree for upload on local interface and have a queue for download on public interface, this way double the CPU cores that can be utilized by queues.

Hi, same problem here, but i have more than one local interface (download), what can i do?

Separate your local network in separate smaller subnets, and have queue for each subnet.
