I’ve got a RB493 acting as a PPPoE server and also doing some straightforward routing (static routes). It currently has 12 logged-in PPPoE users, and the CPU is running at 98-100%.
I have another RB493 in a similar role on a different site, which has almost 50 logged-in PPPoE users, same firmware & bootloader, but only 10-20% CPU.
Any ideas where to look for what’s chewing the CPU?
