CCR-1036 only get 500mbps through put

Recently we got new CCR 1036 and i ran iperf utility to check through put but i am only getting MAX 500Mbits/sec

I have directly connected two Linux host to Mikrotik and running that test. I suppose to get 1Gbps right?

[Linux]-------[CCR 1036]-------[Linux]

We need more info…


How is the CCR configured?

What ports are your devices connected to, how are those ports configured?

Are you running any special services? i.e. firewall, encryption, VPN, etc…

What size packets are you sending via iperf?

When you connect each host directly together, what speeds can you achieve?

I am doing simple Routing/firewall test. To see through put and performance. I have disable all other services like VPN, Wireless, IPsec..

I am using hping3 command to mimmic DDoS attack using --flood and --rand-source. I want to see how much connection Mikrotik can handle. It has 16G or memory and 32 CPUs.

You say “only” but have you checked the “Performance test results” table for your model? Depending how you do it and how you have it configured [wot Revelation asked], 500Mbps could be well within the expected performance for this model.

Hmm thats pretty low.

I have on 7 of these. connected via 10G sfp..

There is a known limit of 1Gb/s on a single tcp stream.
Ran into another limit ~4Gb/s of udp traffic. seems like LACP doesn’t allow fast path for traffic flow.

I like these routers, but I have been find quite a few limitations on them which are making them unusable in RL situations

A

Again, is it? Could be well within the indicated performance envelope, but without knowing the specifics, who knows…

I am certain that somebody from Mikrotik has denied this but I can’t find the thread right now.

states 21Gb/s so 500Mb/s seems low


On their 2015 Slide deck in Melbourne. This was going to be fixed in V7…


realy late response on my part ..

I love V7 - it will be so awesome - it will fix all CCR speed related issues. It will be multi threaded for single session. I will be able to replace all my x86 ROS servers.

500Mbit/s - acceptable. I never got over 320Mbit/s with a CCR1016 using software routing.

Yes man. How exiting it will be in a couple of years - we will be able to software process 10Gbit/s and more with ROS. - And I am eventually able to dust off my stock of CCR1016’s.

500mbit/s using small packets are almost 1million packet per second !!!

if that traffic is concentrated only in one connection the result is fantastic !!!

without more info you are just showing the most possible negative way to evaluate the ccr1036 performance

1mpps using 1500 bytes size packets, we are talking about 10-12 gigabit/second

im not saying your test is not relevant !!

im only saying i think you have to document better your test before stating the ccr1036 are only capable of 500mbps throughput !!

I think our limitation is two SFP+ bonded as a 802.3ad layer 2 with mii are the limitation for our 1036 CCR.

Any one else agree.? We hit a ceiling of 2Gb from 2 10Gb SFP+ bonded ports.

Any input or suggestions would be welcomed. Does this happen on a 1072 CCR? ROS is 6.41 .

Thank you
