Any one test RB1000 with PPPoE server load

Can RB1000 handle 3000 PPPoE connection with dynamic bandwidth control only (No change MSS, compression or encryption)?

I think the Board is NOT yet released

It's available through distributers for more than 10 days now.

Thanks for your information

Is there a rack mount case available for it? How does it stack up to like a 2.4Ghz P4?

Matt

Desktop case only, rack mount case will be available in April.

but back to main discussion , any one test RB1000 as PPPoE server ????

You can look at PPPoE documentation to get the information about the theoretical resource consumption for each PPPoE client,
http://www.mikrotik.com/testdocs/ros/2. ... /pppoe.php

3000 clients at one broadcast domain does not sound like good configuration.
I think you have to consider better local network design and segregate 3000 users to smaller groups.

Who said that all 3000 users should be on the same subnet? How about VLANs?
I'm also interested in RB1000 performance with a large number of PPPoE clients with shaping/filtering.

well, PPPoE theoretical resource usage is shown at the link.
Anyway additionally RADIUS server will be required for PPP database, since local PPP secret database is designed for 50-70 clients.

Have not tested the 1000 yet, but a single core 3gig system can handle 2700 PPPoE sessions+.. Multi-core will change that as well. See just under a 50% gain when dual-cores are used.
