ppp-v7 packages:

V7?

Fri Nov 22, 2013 11:20 pm

ppp_v7 package improvements consist of 2 parts:

*) ppp_v7 package should provide additional improvement in PPPOE, PPTP and L2TP interface management.
*) upgrades in the drivers and Kernel, that should deliver improvement in traffic throughput performance on those interfaces.

Improvements will be seen on all supported architectures, but highest performance improvements will be seen especially on multicore systems

Have someone perform any tests on xen?
Do it add any extra features, options to UI?

on 951g-2hnd i have lower speed than with routeros v6.6 when connected with pppoe client

Does PPPoE option 82 http://forum.mikrotik.com/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=42698 included ?

omidkosari · Mon Nov 25, 2013 3:52 pm

Also Umetered Content for PPPoE . 'Unmetered Content' services aren't counted against your monthly download inclusion . added to feature request page

janisk · Tue Nov 26, 2013 12:24 pm

There are no new features in there. Only performance optimizations for multicore routers (like TILE, x86 and PPC), single core should also see some improvement, but not comparable to multicore solutions.

In our internal testing there where great speed improvements.

Please send your reports to support@mikrotik.com along with support output file so we can see your configuration and analyze the results.

Doesn't receive any response from support@mikrotik.com. Maybe auto-reply is disabled now.
It seems that Ovpn doesn't work.

Never really had problem with pppoe on 5.x. Haven't moved to v6 on core/edge.
I have 700 pppoe sessions and on core i3 not too much CPU usage even moving 130-140 megabit.
Each customer gets advertised speed

I'm not sure how it could get better? Is this more geared for tile?
My CPU is only 2 cores.

hope after ppp there will be the case of routing on manycores.

earlier then v7.
Thanks

Please no.

Major new features on new releases only!

Status of PPPoE session is displayed incomplete

IP Addresses and MRRU are missing

I dont know is this is related, but yesterday i tried to change a Dell x86 (5.25) accting as pppoe server to a CCR (6.5). All work well in 5.25, but in 6.5 no one of the clients that get a subnet allocation, worked. All clients with a single ip was ok.

The NAS put an error telling "could not determe remote ip". Something have changed from 5.x to 6.x? Since this is in production, im not that happy to test the new package unless someone might confirm that this work in the new 6.7? (i put the dell back)

I have not tested 6.x on the dell to se if its the same problem in x86 as tilera

Update:

Upgrade x86 to 6.6, seems to work.

COA will be implemented?

Rudios · Mon Dec 02, 2013 6:32 am

I have tested the supplied packages and it did not work out for me!

I've first upgraded two routerboards to version 6.7rc2 and then uploaded the ppp-v7 package.
Still get the error "could not add bridge port <pptp-xxx> is not allowed to be put in bridge (6).

I will send supout.rif of both devices to MT support

+1 for COA.

We can't make some kind of "Turbo button" service without this.

I have multicore x86 with about 30 PPPoE servers on different vlans which came on board through one Intel 82576 ethernet card.
On RouterOS 5.26 I saw rx queue issue on this card when all incoming PPPoE traffic appeared in first queue0 and other queues was empty, so I have big load disbalance between cpu cores. This issue is very known and nothing to do with this, because it based on RSS algorithm in network card controller

But when I move to RouterOS 6.7 (package ppp-v6.7) I saw, that now other rx queues on this card began to receive frames, not so much as first queue, but anyway this is very _very_ great, load disbalance between cores became much smaller.
How do you do this ? You load into network card controller other RSS algorithm ?
Do you plan to extend this success in future releases of PPP package ?

I noticed the same situation as above,
when I ping any device or station from core MT i have bigger latency than from example pc in the network.

Any plans for a Mikrotik LNS/LAC for DSL handoff?

help me please

Twido · Tue Jan 07, 2014 12:52 am

+1 for CoA .

We really need it for yesterday...

Rudios · Wed Jan 08, 2014 11:44 am

Have had some contact with the support of MikroTik and they found the problem with DHCP over BCP.

Hello,

Thanks, problem repeated.

Problem are specific to setups when DHCP-server is on the same bridge where pptp
is bridged.

we will fix that in one of the next versions.

Meanwhile you can ether place DHCP server on other device in the network, or use
EoIP over PPTP and bridge EOIP tunnel.

Regards,

I asked them in which release it will be solved. I will report when they do.
I'm happy that the problem is located an will be solved.

big problem my router ccr1016 ver : 6.8rc1 by user connecet with pppoe connection
help me

Chupaka · Mon Jan 13, 2014 9:24 pm

big problem

what problem? someone logs in via SSH four times per second?..

sup5 · Mon Jan 13, 2014 10:38 pm

looks like he is using radius accounting for local auth (ssh, telnet, winbox) and for pppoe.
thus anyone with valid pppoe-credentials might be able to log into his router via ssh/telnet/winbox

.

and if the radius only allows for one session at a time, the pppoe-session gets killed, when a ssh-login is attempted...

evil stuff

ariaking · Thu Jan 16, 2014 4:06 pm

hi my friends

i have ccr1016 and 700 ppp client

i upgrade 6.5 to 6.8rc1 and see top speed ppp connection in minimum cpu usage
my ccr works good by this version but affter 10min i see router log and see
(( client user name logout 0.0.0.0

but 500 users stay connected and see all user in active connection and used internet ,
this time open my accounting and see all users logout and 40 users connected ,
online users maximum is 60 that after 10min increase to 30/40 users

compulsory downgread 6.7 and repeat problem after 1d uptime ---> rebood router

help me please

Chupaka · Thu Jan 16, 2014 4:27 pm

as I can see, user logs out after someone called 'rated' logs in via SSH - what's that?

p.s. it's not '0.0.0.0' but '2 0 0 0 0' - i.e., not an IP address but five numbers

ariaking · Thu Jan 16, 2014 10:00 pm

1-my radius server connected mikrotik
2- created user ssh in mikrotik and set this user to my radius
3 - when user connect with ppp connection radius applay rate for user in mikrotik simplequeue
4- this works good for 6 years ago and now but cant action by version 6.8rc1

for help i take screenshot radius

Fri Jan 17, 2014 9:00 am

ariaking - do I understand correctly, that when your Radius is trying to apply rate change, your users disconnect?

ariaking · Fri Jan 17, 2014 4:48 pm

hi

my radius server send rate to mikrotik with SSH and user conneted with PPPOE connection

now all users connected successfully and use internet

1 : with version 6.0 .... 6.7 after 2days ppp users cant be conneted

2 : with version 6.8rc1 all user connected after 20min logout from radius but stay connected in mikrotik

K1w1user · Mon Jan 20, 2014 10:12 pm

Any fixes likely for sstp ?

It is incapable of staying up for more than a day, compared to pptp.

Usually, both ends claim the other one disconnected or timed out.

I've ditched sstp and reverted to pptp, which is not considered as secure.
When the sstp is replaced, on the same hardware, it then can stay up for typically 30-60 days.

gogusrl · Tue Jan 21, 2014 1:14 pm

repost from the 6.8rc1 thread

Can confirm I got another ~200 mbps while torrenting on my 1gbps connection running routeros 6.8rc1 under ESXi on a Celeron G1610T (sole VM, ~70% cpu load, pppoe connection, ~60 firewall rules).

tgcnet · Wed Jan 22, 2014 11:50 pm

serious problem with PPPOE SERVER bridge and when client disconnects, the other customers mikrotik drops after 20 seconds, problem with BCP, in all versions,. customer who left hung equipment, and the right client mikrotik disconnected, after 20 seconds than the other turned off the device.
