Hello
I have about 1000 PPTP users terminating on a 3000Mhz server and its maxing out.
It only passes about 25Mbps
I tried duel core but it was worse, apparently PPTP server only used one core.
How many peopel have you guys stuffed on a PPPOE server?
Can I expect more?
Would a rb1000 handle it better?
The documentation says 1000’s of PPPOE users
Thanks
I’d say its prob something more low level that’s causing your issue… Queues, and more specfically, compression / encryption on ppptp ?
Encryption will cause a serious knock performance wise with that much traffic…
PPPoE and PPTP use same authentication mechanisms, therefore, if you use internal DB (/ppp/secret) that is optimised for about 100 users most probably cannot handle the amount of 10 times more than that.
you should go for user-manager, even if on the same server, that will work better.
Do you think that is causing the high cpu?
If I used radius would that fix it?
I disabled encryption but that had about 10% effect.
Thanks
