Dear Mikrotik Support Team,
I am experiencing a throughput limitation on my CCR1016-12G router with the following setup:
3 WANs input, each with a 1Gb capacity
CPU and memory usage (All ok)
Best regards,
I found this at https://mikrotik.com/product/CCR1016-12G#fndtn-testresults
The test results show that 25 Ip filter rules may reduce the performance to 673,8 Mbps throughput, is there a way I can use the fast-track rule to increase the throughput? I appreciate your suggestion

It’s not possible to fast-track PPPoE … a d PPPoE encapsulation/decapsulation is a real performance hog on some device modeld (much more that expected). It is possible to fast track firewall rules.
You can try to run CPU profiler (while router is under load) to see which process uses most of CPU resources.
you have too much features on a single router
If you want more performance you must separate the wan load balance duties from PPPoE Router to a separate Router
When you had the PPPoE router only doing that task you can run it on fast-path mode without connection-tracking, in that way you can obtain the maximum performance as PPPoE Router

The CPU profile is inconclusive … your router has 16 CPU cores. The output you showed can mean that either all cores are utilized 20% (and should indeed be able to handle much more than they do during running profiler) or that 3 CPU cores are at 100% (and the rest are virtually idle) … or anything in between.
If it’s the later, then router is hitting the ceiling and without some drastic changes (one might be splitting duties between two devices) you will not be able to improve things.
So repeat profiling, but this time select “all” in CPU drop-down selector.
maybe your ccr1016 does not have a bottleneck although you have stated that
maybe a miss-configuration specially on load balancing, maybe some internal network problem, maybe a some provider or providers problem
Dear chechito,
/ip firewall mangle
i think you can try disabling fast-track, that combined with mangle does not work well
if you already disabled it please reboot to remove fast-track dummy rules
Is there a way to load-balance without firewall rules? if yes can you share please
you can try some sort of load outbound balancing without using mangle rules using Route Rules
Can you give me an example? how I route ppp profile to a certain gateway? I’m using Router OS v6.49 so I don’t have the routing table option
