V7.20 [stable] is released!

See here: CHR and Proxmox bandwidth issues - #19 by mwf

I have about 10x times better performance with my 25G and 50G network (about 85 to 90% what I expected). I’m super happy with that.

So, for every other guy with the problem: Just update to ≥ v7.20 and give it a try

Edit: I did another few tests.

Setup:

  • 3x Proxmox Cluser. Hosts with a 2x25G mlx5 card
  • Configured as OVS bond in a OVS bridge
  • The CHR sits in a VM as main router/gateway (with firewall rules & NAT)
  • CHR manages all the traffic between 15 VLANs and a 25G ISP uplink
  • Network behind is based on CRS504 and other Mikrotik devices

Results (between VLANs and also to ISP):

  • v7.18.2 = 2.5-3.0 Gbps
  • v7.20 = 22.0 - 24.0 Gbps
