Any idea why I am seeing the below?
Everything is fine on the btest side but there are regular drops on the router side but no pings are lost…?
?
those are not drops. they are just skips in statistics. maybe due to high CPU or network load.
I have the same issue on two of my PC based routers. One runs around 5% CPU other around 30% CPU. So its not a CPU issue. One is running version 3.30 and the other 4.4 so it’s not version. I have also seen the same issue on my 750G
At first I thought it must be dropping packets or the interface must be bouncing, but after many test I found it was just the interface graphs.
Whilst its not a issue that affect my customers or router performance, it did worry me at first. This looks like a bug to me.
I have been able to reproduce this under both full (CPU) load and also very low load (5%)…
also seeing the exact same thing under heavy and low network utilization from btest (by playing with btest settings
Also have seen this exact same behavior on the following now:
433uah
750g
x86 based
it has nothing to do with btest. winbox simply is not getting all data necessary to plot the result. missed samples basically. its nothing to worry about. most likely it is a low priority thread and the router just didnt send the statistic or something.
yes, it’s not an issue at all. you should worry only if you see zero values, not ‘empty’
