CCR2004 real routing performance?

Tue Jun 22, 2021 4:24 am

Hi guys,
I have watched a video on YouTube showing that the CCR2004 with LACP is unable to route more than 9 Gbps of traffic. I would like to know if there's someone that has tested the routing performance with LACP, and have confirmed if performance is really that limited :'(

Best regards

Official test results have many numbers in the table, ranging anything between 600 Mbps and 40 Gbps. Which means that routing performance very much depends on particular configuration. It's hard to tell how much LACP hits performance unless one performs two tests with LACP being the only difference.

The test result table indicates, that when one configures some firewall rules (real life scenario in most SOHO cases, perhaps not when used in carrier / ISP environment) routing performance drops to around 5 Gbps give or take.

CCR2004 has hardware problem: reboot, port flapping and packets loss please stay away from it

Had an incident with a client of mine recently where they peer with a Internet Exchange at data centre routing +- 200Mb/s on a 2004.

The Internet Exchange route server sends constant route updates in BGP which causes the 2004 CPU to spike to 30% utilization every +- 45 seconds, when this happen, any traffic routing through this 2004 device experienced either a huge jump in latency or packet loss

Disabling firewall connection tracking, etc did not make any difference

I am using the following configuration:
https://www.init7.net/de/support/routerinfos/mikrotik- ccr2004_fiber7-x2-2-2.auto.rsc

I havs made several tests, using two computers on the lan, and against my internet provider.
Locally I get max 7 Gbps, and against the init7 iperf3 server (25G connection!), about 5.5 Gbps.

Its all very disappointing.
Is there anything that I can change in the configuration in order to improve the performance?

I had the impression that 15G was possible?

Is there no other option than to splash out on a CCR2216?
can I use the configuration from the ccr2004 in the CCR2216?
Does anybody know if the CCR2216 will be able to have a throughput of 25G from a single interface with this configuration?
How warm does the CCR2216 get?
I was unable to use the S+RJ10 modules, as it got too warm 70 degrees when connected at 10G, and 60 when connected at 1G and 2.5G)
With a heatsink on the sfp28 modules, and one sfp+ 10G module as well as 3x 1G modules, the fans of the ccr2004 mostly stay silent. Would that be the same for the CCR2216?

Best regards
Erlend

Note that a single stream will only usually be processed by a single core, it is unrealistic to expect a TCP connection to hit 25 Gbps (never mind without tuning TCP windows and congestion control algorithms). Try with parallel iperf to see more accurate numbers for maximum throughput. If all you care about is single stream performance then you need high frequency single core performance which will generally put you in x86-64 territory.
