CCR1009 PPPoE hardware offloading ?

RouterOS Beginner Basics
1

Hi everyone,

I just bought CCR1009 to replace my Edgerouter POE. i’m new to RouterOS, I have performance issue with CCR.
My current internet speed is 1gbps/300bps and my ISP required to use PPPoE + Vlan to get internet.

I have setup the CCR like this :

# ether1 WAN vlan 835
/interface vlan
add interface=ether1 mtu=1492 name=internet-orange vlan-id=835

# PPPoE + Auth
/interface pppoe-client
add ac-name="" add-default-route=yes allow=pap,chap default-route-distance=1 dial-on-demand=no disabled=no interface=internet-orange keepalive-timeout=60 max-mru=1492 max-mtu=1492 mrru=disabled name=pppoe-orange
password=xxxxxxx profile=default service-name="" use-peer-dns=yes
user=fti/xxxxxxx

# IP config
/ip address
add address=172.21.0.254/24 interface=ether2 network=172.21.0.0
    
# NAT
/ip firewall nat
add action=masquerade chain=srcnat out-interface=pppoe-orange to-addresses=0.0.0.0

With CCR my bandwith is only 460Mbps when I have 850Mbps with ERL. Could you help me to correctly configure it ?

  1. Could you tell me if RouterOS uspport PPPoE hardware offloading ?
  2. I assume that i only use 1 CPU core that limits my bandwith, so how to setup multiple Cpu core to bypass this limit ?

Thanks,
Baki.

Hi, connect provider’s cable to port 8 and re-do test. Ports 1-5 are not directly connected to tile cpu, in fact ports 1-5 are in a switch with an atheros cpu.
Here is a printscreen from my CCR1009 doing about 900Mbps NAT over PPPOE with 20 firewall rules.

Hi! You have some performance in upload speed of pppoe connection?


Have a good day!

I don’t have the CCR, but the Atheros switch chip on my RB450G is capable of 1Gbps without sweat.
