Problems virtualizing Mikrotik inside Proxmox

RouterOS General
1

Hello

I have a KVM-Proxmox VM running Mikrotik.

I am going to put about 500 queues in that machine, now I am testing with just about 10 queues.

The resource usage is the following:

[admin@Accesssvr] /system resource> pr
uptime: 3d3h22m16s
version: 5.21
free-memory: 1903844KiB
total-memory: 1943140KiB
cpu: Common
cpu-count: 8
cpu-frequency: 3093MHz
cpu-load: 0%
free-hdd-space: 4952780KiB
total-hdd-space: 5154884KiB
write-sect-since-reboot: 479616
write-sect-total: 479616
architecture-name: x86
board-name: x86
platform: MikroTik

The problem: Sometimes the cpu load arises 100% and the VM turns unresponsive and I start to loosing packets to the RB. Atfer some time resource usage is normal.

The new beta version seems does not have this problem.

What do you think?

You should try to use virtio devices, not the emulated ones.

Yes I am using virtio with both network adapters and hard disk
