About my previous post from 5.0 rc8 … The ROS with level 6 only supported 1500 concurrent PPPoE connections… why? Regards,
It’s possible that your hardware is not powerful enough. We have not heard such reports before
Server Dell R410 with two processors Xeon quad-core 2.4Ghz (16 cores) with 32GB RAM DDR3… it is not powerful?
what happens when you have 1500 connected, and 1501 tries to connect ?
1500 connects. From 1501 only appears in the log: PPPoE connection established from (MAC).

did you send supout.rif file to support? what is the ticket number, I will check status. We need the file from the moment when 1501 connects. Preferrably with PPP debug logs enabled

If I reboot the device I get 2.28 running on it.

A question about v5 features (btw I personally like the burst for PCQ and the gre for cisco compatibility):
In an article posted by Mikrotik (I do not have the link) it said that RouterOS supports 200 networks or aggregates in bgp announcement. Will this limitation be removed?
I don’t know any such limits, where did you read it ?
Struck,
Do you have problems with RX Drops like here: http://forum.mikrotik.com/t/rx-drops/34593/1
with that machine with 16 cores and 1500 PPPoE users?
16 real cores on 8 real cores with HT??? if 8 go to the BIOS and disable HT, RouterOS benefit more on that. Did you made your IRQ management?
Yes it is better to disable HT, specially regarding rx drops.
Maybe 5.0 rc8 or rc9 can make better use of all cores ? Struck ?
IPSEC still no worky on RB1100. Works on RC7, but not 8 and 9. Doesnt matter really. Im sending it back.
I have no problem with RX drops on this machine, only PPPoE problems…
