Massive packet loses on CRS125-24G during peak time

Hardware MikroTik hardware general

Hi

I wanted to find out. I have been having this problem of packet loses within my network for the past weeks. I have 2 Mikrotik CRS125-24G with 6.33 Firmware.

From Location A to Location B i seem to have a lot packet loses

From the Mikrotik forums others suggested of changing configurations in the queue interface from only hardware queue to Ethernet default which i have done but this hasn’t helped at all.

Any ideas or suggestions on why we having these packet loses in between these 2sites. When i remove the Routers and connect the laptops directly there seem not to be any packet loses.

What i noticed is that during night time the packet loss is minimized but day time the packet loses is massive. Iam pushing about 70-100Mbps in between these 2 sites. Is it that the CRS125 cant handle this kind of traffic. Need help

without knowing the configuration and topology is difficult to guess

All issues resolved, it was capacity issue. Most of the time the core router CPU utilization was always high in the ranges of 90-98%.

I changed the hardware from CRS125 to CCR1009 and all problems are long gone

This usually happens when one uses a switch as a router.
The CRS-125 works nicely when used, like its name states, as a SWITCH.

CRS125-24G is able to route even quite a bit more than 100mbits, but the settings matter.

It seems quite a lot of people don’t know how to use this properly. Time to think about an advanced wizard.

7

Oh. Rather not another wizard. Just see how problematic is the quickset. You cannot preprogram everything to provide good wizard to everyone.

8

I don’t use the quickset. It is very basic.

A good advanced wizard does not need to be programmed for everything, but provide the main guidance.

None can anticipate what I will need to set and how.

A wizard should not be a new GUI, but an intelligent assistant.

11

Ok. If the program should be intelligent it has to be heavily preprogrammed and it would need very hard maintenance when whatever changes a bit in each new version. What detailed functionality should it provide?

12

It does not have to be “heavily programmed”. It should be a rule-based expert system.

13

I doubt it could be more than other source of pain. But it is just an opinion. Everyone can have different feeling.

Network administrators always have new things to look at, so I don’t think it would take away their jobs, but helping a bit if implemented properly.

The GUI would probably have to declare itself to the AI via its programming.
