Re: v6.38 [current] is released!

You could use the note feature for that. Enter reason why each rule is made.
In some cases it could be nice to have a "countdown timer" with a rule like with address list members,
to temporarily open some thing without risk to forget to remove it later, but I do not consider it important
enough to make it into a feature request. The comment feature already is a very nice advantage of
RouterOS over competing products and even operating systems.

After upgrading to 6.38, my pppoe connection to WAN speed test makes cpu go to 100%. FastTrack counters seem OK --> FastTrack seems to be configured properly.
Because of the cpu, the router no longer gets 300 mbps at 45% of CPU. Now I get up to 200 mbps at 100%.

my whish is to get an "time"-object which I can add to any firewall-rules. The tiime-object should have an beginning and an end-datetime.
If added, the rule is only enabled within this time! This has several advantages: 1. Having the "countdown timer" you mentioned 2. Allowing me to enable several
"mainenance"-rules(with several vlans i have over 50 of them) by just extending the end-datetime of this "timeobject" named "Maintenance-AllowExternalAccess "....

Well that is already available, but it appears that it allows only cyclic definitions and no date fields. That can probably be fixed rather easily.

Somehow... it should be available as an own "object", just like the adress-list. If so, I can add several named "time-objects" and add them to te corresponding rules.

That functionality is not available in netfilter I think, so it would have to be implemented entirely in the management layer.
(you maintain some time object but in reality it is modified in all rules that refer to it)
That is probably more work to implement. The "time" match has this functionality:
   time
       This matches if the packet arrival time/date is within a  given  range.
       All  options  are optional, but are ANDed when specified. All times are
       interpreted as UTC by default.

       --datestart YYYY[-MM[-DD[Thh[:mm[:ss]]]]]

       --datestop YYYY[-MM[-DD[Thh[:mm[:ss]]]]]
              Only match during the given time, which must be in ISO 8601  "T"
              notation.   The  possible  time  range is 1970-01-01T00:00:00 to
              2038-01-19T04:17:07.

              If --datestart or --datestop are not specified, it will  default
              to 1970-01-01 and 2038-01-19, respectively.

       --timestart hh:mm[:ss]

       --timestop hh:mm[:ss]
              Only  match during the given daytime. The possible time range is
              00:00:00 to 23:59:59. Leading zeroes are allowed (e.g.  "06:03")
              and correctly interpreted as base-10.

       [!] --monthdays day[,day...]
              Only match on the given days of the month. Possible values are 1
              to 31. Note that specifying 31  will  of  course  not  match  on
              months  which  do  not have a 31st day; the same goes for 28- or
              29-day February.

       [!] --weekdays day[,day...]
              Only match on the given weekdays. Possible values are Mon,  Tue,
              Wed,  Thu,  Fri,  Sat, Sun, or values from 1 to 7, respectively.
              You may also use two-character variants (Mo, Tu, etc.).

       --contiguous
              When --timestop is smaller than --timestart value, match this as
              a single time period instead distinct intervals.  See EXAMPLES.

       --kerneltz
              Use  the  kernel  timezone instead of UTC to determine whether a
              packet meets the time regulations.
As you can see, datestart and datestop fields could easily be added to give oneshot temporary rules
in addition to the daily/weekly rules that already are available.

I know this from shorewall, It is really a nice feature and a nice addition to Mikrotik and I'd appreciate also this smaller solution.
My suggestion from above is just the more "global" version of this.

Just a guess - did you enable fasttrack?

Confirm - at 6.38 (and possibly earlier, updated from 6.37) fasttrack is broken, dynamic rules are in "passtrough", as well as on devices that do not support this feature. Downgrade to 6.37 recovers it.

I might have found some other IPsec related bugs:
1. sometimes the new "PH states" are not correct, traffic is flowing but there is "no PH2" or "ready to send" which often only reverts after phase1 rekey or new phase2
2. if the initiator is reconnecting too fast e.g. after PPPoE 24 hour reconnect and the old SAs are not flushed on responder, the initiator thinks he is connected and has SAs but the responder has an invalid policy and no traffic can flow.
EDIT
If a peer reconnects after PPoE 24h disconnect within DPD timeout and with a another IP address than before, there will be the situation described in 2.,
I tested this by setting delay before attempting to reconnect to a value greater than the DPD timeout which "solved" the problem. Bit this is clearly not the expected behaviour.
UPDATE
even my workaround did not solve the problem
UPDATE2:
now again a second reboot after the upgrade seems to solve this problem for now (testet with a script doing disable+enable)
UPDATE3
second reboot does not solve this for long. after two days the problem is back. responder shows invalid dynamic policy while initiator thinks that he is connected.

as usual, please fix :)
thank you in advance
UPDATE4
it seems that a double reconnect with a delay makes it possible to "solve" it.
on first (re)connect the bad invalid policy is created on responder and not automatically flushed in time. on second (re)connect the bad policy is removed and a new valid one is created allowing traffic to flow.

does this fix the out of order packets on the CCR models when using the encryption hardware acceleration?

I've noticed with all of my HAP and 2011 Routers I tested on the bench, 6.38 gets really pissy with IPsec after it's running for a few hours. With each one, after about 2-3 hours it just stops passing IPSec traffic, and I can't go into IP/IPSec in Winbox or CLI, and I can't do a config export unless I disable the security package and reboot.
Winbox just gives me no info on those tabs, and in CLI as soon as I go to do a 'print' under any category in IPsec, it just hangs.

Not here. Post your config and/or send a supout.rif file to support.

Not sure if bug...

I upgraded to 6.38, I already reset the config to default

When I download or run speed test, the speed (tx/rx) appears also on wlan1 interface, but my pc is connected only via ethernet5

I upgraded hEX/v3 - mmips/ to 6.38, firmware to 3.35 . This release broke my speed to 250Mbit/s max for tcp or udp per direction/rx or tx/, both speed 130-150 per direction, whats happenеd ?Only now the load of cpu have equal threads load 20-30%, previously only one thread work on 100% load but speed up 1300Mbit/s!
