Everything works fine except fasttrack, I can see that some tcp or udp connections are well fasttracked in the “Connections” tab, but the counter for the “dummy” rule remains at 0.
It’s the same in IP/Settings, fastrack is active but the counters are at 0.
A priori the material is fasttrack compatible according to the ROS documentation
I’ve tested everything after having scoured the forum a lot looking for similar cases, tested several version of ROS 7, I can’t find anything conclusive.
Has anyone with RB9xx type cards ever managed to get fasttrack to work?
Do I understand you right that your RB91x devices are tranparrently (on L2) passing traffic between ether and wireless interfaces?
Fasttrack is firewall feature and if you don’t explicitly enable use-ip-firewall=yes on bridge settings, IP firewall doesn’t apply to bridged traffic at all, so no fasttrack-ed traffic.
yes that’s right just a transparent level 2 bridge between eth1 and wlan1 (I also tested with the vlan filtering option on the bridge and tagging each vlan on the ports it doesn’t change anything)
I put some screenshots.
The only thing I haven’t done yet is downgrade to version 6.
I don’t think this is a display bug as I have no performance change with or without fasttrack.
Before I only used fastpath but now I have voip on the link and I have to be able to manage congestion in case
As I explained, fasttrack is about firewalling. Simple bridging between two ports members of bridge, bypasses routing/firewalling (i.e. anything defined under /ip and subtree). If you’d like to use interface queues (which again doesn’t have to much with routing) to prioritize (or rather de-prioritize) some traffic, you can do it in /queue simple … and for queues to work traffic actually must not be fasttracked (fasttracking means that packets, eligible for fasttracking, avoid most of processing, queuing however needs packet processing in its fullest).
