v6.0beta1 released!

What's new in 6.0beta1 (2012-Apr-13 15:26):

*) updated drivers and kernel (to linux-2.6.38.2);
*) improved interface management (scales well for up to thousands of interfaces and more);
*) improved queue management (/queue simple and /queue tree) - easily handles tens
of thousands of queues;
*) improved overall router performance when simple queues are used -
at least double the performance of v5, even bigger improvements on multicore systems;
*) very small overhead for packets that miss simple queues,
but simple queues are present in the system;
*) pcq queue is NAT aware (just like "/queue simple" and "/ip traffic-flow";
*) in "/ip firewall mangle" can specify "new-priority=from-dscp-high-3-bits";
*) new default queue types: pcq-download-default and pcq-upload-default;
*) simple queues have separate priority setting for download/upload/total;
*) slave flag shows up for interfaces that are in bridge,bonding or switch group;
*) global-in, global-out, global-total parent in /queue tree is
replaced with global that is equivalent to global-total in v5;
*) simple queues happen in different place - at the very end of
postrouting and local-in chains;
*) simple queues target-addresses and interface parameters are joined into one
target parameter, now supports multiple interfaces match for one queue;
*) simple queues dst-address parameter is changed to dst and now supports
destination interface matching;
*) dns cache logs requests to topics "dns" and "packet";

v6.0beta1 includes many changes, we suggest it for testing environment until you are confident that it works with necessary configuration.
Please, submit all reports to support@mikrotik.com (include suppout.rif file).

can you put limit on interface that has a master port set ? for example on port 2 that has master port 1 ... to have tx or rc limit?

you have to choose - ether you allow traffic to bypass CPU completely (by switching it to other port) or you wanna work with packets in CPU - there is no middle way.

One-way throughput is at half of v5 router with nstreme enabled and 5GHz-40 MHz mode, and station in 5GHz-Turbo with nstreme cannot connect to bridge. Changing sides solves problem. Significally less cpu usage (about 60% difference)...

Each time I issue "/ipv6 firewall filter add chain=input comment="Accept established" connection-state=established" makes my RB1100 crash and reboot.

I didn't have time to do further testing, so I don't know yet if it triggers the bug alone or if it's related to some other configuration around.

still no "routing mark" in firewall ipv6. why? but i have upgraded my device to v6. :)

paoloaga, you are right, thank you very much for the report! Connection-state matcher in IPv6 firewall is the reason for reboot, other IPv6 firewall rules work fine.
We will fix the particular problem in the next 6.0 version.

hello Mr. Sergejs, in /queue tree i just make 1 rule with parent=global and no other parameter, but status shows invalid / the rule is red color. why?

yogii, I think more information is required, here is the output from demo2.mt.lv router,
[sergejs@demo2.mt.lv] /queue tree> add parent=global
[sergejs@demo2.mt.lv] /queue tree> print
[sergejs@demo2.mt.lv] /queue tree> print
Flags: X - disabled, I - invalid
0 name="queue1" parent=global packet-mark="" limit-at=0 priority=8
max-limit=0 burst-limit=0 burst-threshold=0 burst-time=0s
Contact MikroTik support with attached support output file, where queue is shown as invalid.

hello Mr.Sergejs, is ROS V6 with a new kernel support memory more than 1.5 GB?
and how about my Ticket#2012041466000142, is it bug?

thanks for information.

And if you put an interface into a VRF under /ip route vrf it doesn't display the IPv6 route associated with the interface (as per my post here - http://forum.mikrotik.com/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=60574):
/interface ethernet set ether5-slave-local master-port=none
/ip route vrf add disabled=yes interfaces=ether5-slave-local routing-mark=test-vrf
/ipv6 address add address=2001:db8:ffff:ffff::1/64 advertise=no interface=ether5-slave-local
IPv6 connected route is visible
[admin@MikroTik] /ip route vrf> /ipv6 route print
Flags: X - disabled, A - active, D - dynamic, C - connect, S - static, r - rip, o - ospf, b - bgp, U - unreachable
 #      DST-ADDRESS              GATEWAY                  DISTANCE
 0 ADC  2001:db8:ffff:ffff::/64  ether5-slave-local              0

Flags: X - disabled, I - inactive
 0   routing-mark=test-vrf interfaces=ether5-slave-local
[admin@MikroTik] /ip route vrf> set numbers=0 disabled=no
Now it's gone
[admin@MikroTik] /ip route vrf> /ipv6 route print

That`s great. Hope V6.0Beta will solve my simple queue issues.
No bug fix on IPSEC with 0.0.0.0/0 tunnel? :( :( :(

yogii,
RouterOS memory support is not changed at v6.x
Thank you for support output file for queue tree, we are checking your problem.

bambangs2komputer,
do you have "hotspot" package installed?
run /system package print and make sure HotSpot package is there.

axiang,
Thank you for the report on RADIUS queues, we are testing them!

otgooneo,
If there is any problem with IPSec at v6.x, write report to support@mikrotik.com, include as much details as possible and do not forget to attach support output file.

Update
,
bambangs2komputer we have found one issue, that HotSpot setup does not work at 6.0beta1 router. Thank you very much for your information. We are working on the fix.

Each time I issue "/ipv6 firewall filter add chain=input comment="Accept established" connection-state=established" makes my RB1100 crash and reboot.
This one caused me some grief, my RB433UAH was upgraded from 5.14 to 5.0beta1 and as soon as it booted, before I could log in it would lock and reboot on watchdog, I netinstalled 6.0beta1 on to it and reconfigured from scratch, as soon as I added my first ipv6 filter, an accept established it rebooted again!

Thanks for acknowledging it so quickly Sergejs :)

axiang,
queue
dynamic speed limit of radius hotspot or ppp can not be normal
Yes, it is correct. Dynamic queue speed is not applied correctly. As the result you get such queue (at 6.0beta1),
 0  D name="<pppoe-1>" parent=none packet-marks="" priority=8/8 
      queue=default-small/default-small limit-at=1M/1M max-limit=1M/1M 
      burst-limit=0/0 burst-threshold=0/0 burst-time=0s/0
that does not have proper matcher to assign the limits, in the next version (6.0beta2) it will be fixed to "target=pppoe-1".
Thank you very much for the report!

When will a fix (new beta) be available? :)

wow, this 751 can move some traffic... :D

I think the queue tree reporting might be a little off?

actually, it's missing even in .zip

Chupaka, thank you very much for the report.
Advanced package is back to zip and torrent files.

sergejs, thanks. when new torrent will be available? :)
I think the queue tree reporting might be a little off?
yep, it is. my queue shows 2 Mbps with actual traffic ~16 Mbps (packet rate is correct, btw)
also, it's yellow with max-limit=30M - it means, real avg-rate is between 15M and 23M :)

Chupaka, cbrown, thank you very much for the report about incorrect stats report at queue tree. We were able to repeat the problem, it will be fixed in the next beta version.

P.S. Torrent is fixed as well!

will there be a x86_64 version? Probably it would provide a better performance.

as soon as RBs will have 64-bit CPUs :)

Yes. Finally 64bit CPU but not X86. It will be PPC :D

anyone else noticed?!

if you're talking about dynamic queues, then yes - it's known bug, will be fixed in the next version
