Do I need to keep the FastTrack filter rule on a E50UG?

RouterOS Beginner Basics

Hi,

In my fresh E50UG I see as the first firewall rule for the chain forward

0  D ;;; special dummy rule to show fasttrack counters

      chain=forward action=passthrough

I believe this model those not have FastTrack therefore I can remove this rule right ?

Thanks

Where did you learn that?

Unless you disable it intentionally, it is a feature of the software, not of the specific model, AFAICT. (i.e. it depends on the configuration)

It is capable of fasttrack. It usually gives you 3x throughput or 1/3 cpu usage. Generally, if your scenario permits it, use it.

Edit: no, I confirm this model does not supported fastrack

You are referring to a page last edited in 2018 to assess that feature for a device released in 2025 ?
Iā€™m glad my RB5009 is not listed either then ā€¦

Wiki is no longer maintained (I assume). Please use RouterOS - RouterOS - MikroTik Documentation
All current MikroTik routers support FastTrack.
