Hi guys.
I have the following scenario at my company:
I use an Intel Dual Core 3 GHz, 2 Gb RAM PC with RouterOS 5.14 running from a USB stick. It has 2 NICs in a bridge and it only does traffic shaping for my network.
All the traffic flows through this device (in bridge mode). I use queue trees to control bandwidth for my clients and I mangle the traffic using only the source and destination address (for upload and download, separately).
Today I have 900 mangle rules and the same amount of queue tree rules to limit bandwidth. My total bandwith from my provider is now 85 Mbps. Please, see the attached image so you can see the resources of the PC doing this work.
I’d like to change this PC to a CCR router (CCR-1016-12G) so I can grow after 100 Mbps (gigabit links) and use the multicore capabilities of this new device.
Do you consider that this device is powerful and stable enough to handle this configuration without issues?
I recently tried to use a RB1200 to do the same, but the processor didn’t work well (100% all time).
Anyone that can confirm that this CCR can do the job in similar scenarios (or even more complex ones).
Thanks everybody and best regards.
