upload speed is 25% below download speed

Fri Jan 12, 2018 4:29 pm

Hello Guys

I have a RB951 and also a Rb2011 and my upload speed when doing a speedtest is always 25% less than the download speed.
I have a 20 mb/s fiber connection to my ISP. It is a symmetric connection and a 1:1 contention.
when I connect to from my laptop directly to their switch, bypassing the Router, I get similiar upload and download speeds, but with the router connected
in the middle I always get slower upload speeds.

I looked at the queues and and could not find anything.

Thanks
Kimmy

Please post your router config, so others can have a look and make suggestions.

Kimmy,

Did you ever resolve this problem? I have similar issue to what you described with iPerf test. So would love to know what you did to fix it.

I have a RB850Gx2 (with 2 x CPU) with 5 x Gig Ethernet ports.
Using iPerf3 test.. between a PC (port 4) and VM on ESX server (port 5) connected on "vlan2"..

My "download" speed seems to approach 850Mbps.. so no complaints here

But upload is not even half of download speed!

During upload.. CPU of the box isn't exactly maxed out either at only around 23%.. so I can't see an issue there..
NAME                    CPU        USAGE

queuing                               0%
telnet                                0%
bridging                            3.7%
unclassified                          0%
total                              23.3%

I have tried to rule out ESX server being the bottleneck, and test with Macbook Pro. The results are the same.

My router config export can be found here:

Any ideas?

Having the same problem. Tested with old RB750GL as well as new RB960PGS.

No other devices connected to the router; just WAN (Fibre 10Mbps 1:1) on ether1 and my laptop on ether2.

Same speed tests on ISP provided Zyxel shows consistent upload speeds of +- 9Mbps.

Same results with all Firewall rules disabled.

My router config is:
# jun/02/2018 21:23:02 by RouterOS 6.42.3
# software id = 457M-FMZM
#
# model = 960PGS
# serial number = 89F908328757
