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.
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
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.
