We are struggling with PCQ's on our network getting overloaded and things just slow down ... having a really hard time figuring out why. Until today - I read this and wonder if this is related:
Queue Tree and CCR
● Currently (RouterOS v6.11) only one CPU core can take packets out from one HTB tree
● We are working on possible update of HTB algorithm, or introducing completely new method instead of HTB
● Suggestions: – Use Interface HTB as much as possible to offload, traffic from HTB “global”, or Use simple queues
I have a 10G port coming in and a 10G port going out. Download is one interface and upload is another interface.
To fix this problem should I create a bunch of vlans across that 10G port just so I have additional interfaces to use in HTB? I can just use a bunch of /30 ip routes and ospf will automatically load balance things of course.
Or should I get rid of queue tree and move everything to simple queues - seems like a bad idea.
I can only get about 800mbps thru this CCR72 with 90% of that traffic on two single PCQ entries. . . seems to work perfect until it gets busy at night. I would have thought this router (4 of them actually) could handle 1-2gbps easily but I guess not.
