PPPoE server performance and packet lose problems

RouterOS General

When will this version 3.7 be available for download ?

We are having this packet loss problem in two of our pppoe concentrators (versions 3.1 and 3.6) and need to solve it really soon… We are having a lot of users compliants…

Thanks in advance.

yeah we could really get use of that, even of that beta version you say is working correctly, so please if someone can please share.

cheers

We still have problems with 3.7 beta, it works good only a short period of time.

44

We do not have any problems with 3.7 build time Mar/27/2008.
We run it 4 days on 4 PPPoE server with 500-800 active connections each.
We have only little performance problems that are common for older versions 2.9.x

45

Then please share this beta somewhere or give us link to it or whatever :slight_smile:

Hi EveryOne!

We also have this problem with our PPPOE server (600 users). Every day once we have to reboot the server (packetlose, performance problem)…

Where can we download the 3.7 beta??? Or when will be 3.7 ???

Thanks in advice!

We tested the 3.7 package, from our point of view it is suitable to be released. But now it depends only on MT.

thanks!

So Normis???

Just to know have kind of little performance problem you have?

  1. when there are more users (700-900), we can see that sometimes ping to localhost is higher, up to 2-5ms, but not every ping, only 10-30%
  2. we have problem that users are not able to get higher speeds than 15-20Mbit for download and 5-9Mbit for upload. But this is common problem with older 2.9.x versions and it is only one unpleasant feature of PPPoE compared to DHCP

Thanks for reply. At least for my case these are minor issues.

Hello

Tell me guys is it so hard to put this build somewhere? Can’t you see that there some desperate guys here, that really need to try this out? Please put it somewhere and share this can’t be that hard.

Cheers

At least one more problem was found with test build.

Problem will be fixed in next build and at this point it looks like it will be
the last - so, please, wait for the release of 3.7

54

Yeah, tell that to my users :wink:

I think i have a little more patience in me, hopefully my users too :slight_smile:

Cheers

Today I upgraded one of our Access Concentrator to 3.7
I only load it with 10Mbps and 200 users, its work great, packet loss and latency issues vanished
I will try tomorrow with 40Mbps and 600-700 users
Good work Mikrotik team

Currently 50-58mbit/s, 580 users (325 queues) - packet loss i still here :frowning:
To RouterOS itself:
600 packets transmitted, 594 packets received, 1% packet loss

The absolutely same story via connected PPPoE:
Packets: Sent = 600, Received = 594, Lost = 6 (1% loss),

It’s better than 2-5% loss in older versions, but our freebsd/pppoed server with 500 users online did not lose even 1 packet :frowning:
