You can not use PCC together with FastTrack:
http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:Wiki/Fasttrack
"Note that not all packets in a connection can be fasttracked, so it is likely to see some packets going through slow path even though connection is marked for fasttrack. This is the reason why fasttrack-connection is usually followed be identical action=accept rule. Fasttracked packets bypass firewall, connection tracking, simple queues, queue tree with parent=global, ip traffic-flow(restriction removed in 6.33), ip accounting, ipsec, hotspot universal client, vrf assignment, so it is up to administrator to make sure fasttrack does not interfere with other configuration; "

Hi,

Above is default rule on my miktotik and follow the PCC wiki. Is anyone can point me to the right direction?

hey danny, I see you’re from Malaysia too. Did you manage to solve this problem? I’m also load balancing 2 WANs with PCC and had problems when FastTrack is on. I’ve managed to solve it but not sure if this is the right way.

What I’ve done is to exclude WAN2 connections from FastTrack.

add action=fasttrack-connection chain=forward connection-mark=!WAN2_conn connection-state=established,related

That’s all I did and it seems to be working. FastTrack is back on and everything is ok so far. CPU usage on my RB2011 is down from 80% to 50% when routing at 60mbps. The WANs are 30mbps each.
