Is there a way to do a performance test using the traffic generator and another Mikrotik to measure the performance based on x-amount of hotspot users?
I want to see what the limitations of my RB2011 will be before deploying it in a production environment as our last run didn’t go so well. I also want to tweak some settings and see what differences it makes. Kindly respond.
Actually the only way is to put the machine on productions environment.
Well, I guess that’s what we will have to do. I believe we may have found what was happening in our initial run. Even with no customer traffic on it, the CPU was at 100%. Because it was acting as a DNS server, a foreign address was sending multiple DNS requests to it. I’ve since mitigated that and hopefully it will work better.
simpy drop all new udp connection directed to port 53 udp and tcp incoming from internet…
Thanks to connection tracking the connection state = new are valid also for incoming udp.
this is blocking remote attacks, but not the reply you have requested at one external dns server.
That’s what I’m doing now, dropping all input traffic.
