I have a problem with two different routers and multiple setups where they simply do not allow more than 9 concurrent/simultaneous connections at once. More than 9 connects with certain setups but only 9 physically routes actually works.
Setup1 - RB2011UiAS
ether1 - uplink
ether2,3,4 - running PPPoE servers and has sectors connected to it
Setup2 - RB2011UiAS
ether1 - uplink
ether2,3,4 - running a bridge with rstp and one PPPoE server
ether2-4 has sectors connected to it
Setup3 - RB2011UiAS & x86
on 2011:
ether1 - uplink
ether2-4 - Bridge with EoIP tunnel to x86 bridge.
sfp1 link to x86 ether1
on x86:
ether1- sfp1 of RB2011
ether2 - Internal servers (helpdesk, DNS Billing etc.)
PPPoEBridge - EoIP tunnel to 2011 bridge for ether2-4 of RB2011
The main reason for the last setup is the x86 is much stronger than the 2011. This is why I want to run the PPPoE and main firewalling on it. I use BIND for the internal DNS server which is also setup to be a root caching server (no the DNS server in Mikrotik gives way too much problems).
The problem I have on all of these setups is that only 9 PPPoE connections are allowed to talk at any given time. The rest is simply blocked and not allowed.

Interesting to see that support does nothing about this and no one else has this problem. We cannot afford any more downtime and will invest in other hardware.
I appreciate the fact you mention, would be nice if someone asked. I honestly though that looking at the problem at hand someone will be able to assist. Only 9 connections is allowed.
As soon as I can get into the router again I will post your request.
