is there any white papers showing how the CCR1036-8G-2S+EM performs compared to other manufacturers like Cisco? the statement “any network, any load” sounds a little bit too good to be true.
We have a throughput table here on the bottom. No comparison though:

As you can see, nearly in any condition, the hardware port speed is the maximum reached (which means the port speed is the bottleneck, and CPU has resources to spare)
Hello,
is there any white papers showing how the CCR1036-8G-2S+EM performs compared to other manufacturers like Cisco?
The CCR1036-8G-2S+EM is brand new in sales and can´t compared to other routers regarding to
some even by side coming “children illnesses” that should first eliminated! And comparing is a very
difficult thing, related to the many different network set ups the MikroTik customers are driving!
If you really want to know what Router x or y is able to do for you, you should even buy one example
and then you set it up like your network design is running and only then you are able to compare those
routers against to get an realistic result of what you want to find out!
What should MikroTik set up for a network design and/or network topology?
And than you will read it and it is not really or nearly matching your topology and needs, and then?
ok, i understand. how about this? how does the router perform on a NAT overload scenario. how many clients can i support assuming casual use?
“how many” doesn’t matter in this case, what matters is number of connections, and traffic. And this is given in the performance table I mentioned above.
I see the platforms on routing and bridging different packet sizes. I dont see number of connections on that table.
I’m sorry that we don’t have more detailed tests. We will work on more examples for future products. You could wait until an existing user posts their real world experience.
It would also be very different what kind of usage you are looking forward,
the usage from a ordinary router inside a company network as the boarder router or gateway
would be many different from the usage as a WISP device with many PPPoE wireless users!
how about this? how does the router perform on a NAT overload scenario.
Like each other router also freezing! if something is overloaded it will be freezing or get massively
packet droppings at the WAN interface(s), like all other routers, but at which load this occurs is
the interesting and I really think if they get this router smooth working with so many options and
functions inside of RouterOS will be supported by this hardware like the VPN encryption methods
or deep packet inspection and what ever it will be a really rocket in my eyes.
But once more again if you need a comparison of two routers you should feed them both
with your set up and your specific configuration that is matching your needs and wishes
to get out realistic numbers, perhaps you know a distributor in the near region of you
and the let you try out one of this routers, can this be a solution for you?
i did not mean overloading the network, but using NAT overload (many-to-one ip). i am going to be as specific as i can: can this router support 4000 users on a casual use of the internet? i have a 400Mbps pipe.
Hello again,
How many CCR1036-8G-2S+ are sold at this time you think?
And how many peoples are able to answer your question now at this time?
What kind of set up you are using?
Are this a normal usage at a company or are you a WISP?
Are this PPPoE peoples or customers?
i am going to be as specific as i can:
Please answer the questions above first to come more closer.
can this router support 4000 users on a casual use of the internet?
What kind of protocols you are using all in all?
Is the router the only routing device inside if the network?
What kind of switches you are using inside of the network?
Layer3, are they stacked?
What is your real set up?
…
It is even different from each other set up and work, and you should really test
i have a 400Mbps pipe.
That device should really work with the pipe, this is not the problem I really think.
I will be using Cisco 2960s as edge switches. There will be a fiber core switch. From the core switch I will have fiber going to each edge switch. The router will be doing dhcp for each of the networks. Around 4k concurrent users, not intensive.
