FastTrack without NAT

RouterOS General
1

Hi All,
Is that possible to use FastTrack over bridge without NAT?
I’m unable to get it working with 6.32.4 counters remain zero on the dummy rule and ip settings. while fastrack rule and normal rule has the same counter.

Thank you,

There should be fastpath working on the bridge where ip firewall is not enabled.

Thanks Jarda.
You are correct. I thought that i will be able to bypass everything for my voip data and queue all the other data.

I’m missing something here.

Maybe fasttrack is not working without routing.

Now I took it to the lab with the latest 6.35 rc34.
Fasttrack will not work on bridges…
I hope it’s on the roadmap.

FastPath work with bridges with no problems as long bridge ports support fastpath also.

This is both for bridging and for routing fastpath.

As you are talking about fasttrack, i assume you have routing setup with some firewall rules.
It works fine.

Other option i can think of is that you are talking about bridging fastpath ,but with use-ip-firewall enabled.
if you enabled “use-ip-firewall” fastpath is not possible.

Thanks Macgaiver.
You are correct I’m using bridge with firewall only for QOS I wanted to give my voip users better service.

Thanks
Again,

which is better for using bridged network ? using use ip firewall yes at bridge settings and activate fasttrack or using fastpath ?

AMT.
As far as i know there is no firewall while using fastpath. And fasttrack is not working without nat.
So if you are using just a bridge and need performance use no firewall with fastpath.

Use a switch instead.

You you have any documentation references on that?
I don’t see anything here https://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:IP/Fasttrack

I use FastTrack without NAT and it works fine AFAICT.
