Finally ;-)

Reserved 6 from the first batch to my country. Taking the day
off to meet the trailer when it arrives in about two weeks.

Childish I know, but we are taking about the router of the year ;-)

whoops... any specs?..
Looks like product naming gives lots of specs:

CCR10<ab>-<c>G-<d>S

<ab> - number of cores
<c> - number of Gigabit Ethernets
<d> - number of SFP cages

-BU -board unit (without Rackmount case), for installations in your own boxes :)

OK to clear up some rumours:

CCR1036-12G-4S
Cloud Core Router 1036 with Tilera 1.2Ghz 36-core CPU, 4GB RAM (2x2GB), 4xSFP, 12xGbit Ethernet, RouterOS L6, 1U rackmount case with touchscreen LCD, power supply
List price $995

CCR1016-12G
Cloud Core Router 1016 with Tilera 1.2Ghz 16-core CPU, 2GB RAM (2x1GB), 12xGbit Ethernet, RouterOS L6, 1U rackmount case with touchscreen LCD, power supply
List price $645

CCR1016-12G-BU (without enclosure)
Cloud Core Router 1016 with Tilera 1.2Ghz 16-core CPU, 2GB RAM (2x1GB), 12xGbit Ethernet, RouterOS L6, touchscreen LCD, power supply
List price $625

Our tests show that Cloud Core Router series can push wire speed throughput via all ports (up to 16Gbps full duplex on CCR1036-12G-4S, up to 12Gbps on CCR1016-12G), making it the fastest MikroTik product ever made. Pre-production batches for evaluation will arrive from the factory in ~two weeks.

So now that there are 36 and 16 core versions, will there be a "Light" version like:
* 9 core TILE CPU
* 4 GBit ports + (1-2 SFP ports)
* no display
* passive cooling
* wire-speed gigabit routing (with non-conntrack firewall)
* priced at < $250

That is the router I've been searching for quite some time now.
Same here, Basically need a version of the RB450G with this chip TILE-Gx8009 (with the encryption option) PN# TLR4-00980CG-12CE

No need for a silly colour touch screen on a commercial router. Only adds to the cost and wank factor.


On the full spec version SFP+ would make more sence

I would suggest to consider future 450G and 493G replacements to have this 9 core cpu and one or two SFP ports. Even phones these days have multiple cores.

Cool. I`ll get 2 pcs of CCR1036. It is so wonderful that price is amazing low. I thought price will be something like 3K$. The CPU encryption offloading specs are here:
Crypto and Compression
Acceleration
• MiCA™ engines deliver
low-latency, high-bandwidth
offload
• 40 Gbps encryption
throughput
• Support for IPsec, SSL, TLS,
MACsec, SRTP, 3GPP
• Public Key accelerator (RSA,

This could be possible, because MAX consumption on the CCR1036 is 60W.
MAX consumption of CCR1016 is up to 38W.

Both values at average room temperature.

The above given values were the absolute MAX, with all ports running full speed, and max load on everything.

Running Idle, consumption will be this:

CCR1036 consumption is 28W on average (with LCD off).
CCR1016 consumption is 17W on average (with LCD off).

I was assured by support it is only for now. There are lots of features/improvements coming into CCR as v6.x gets older.
Anyway 1,5milj pps in not bad for "Pre-production batch for evaluation"<c>.


Ehm...
24mil 64byte pps = =24mil*8*(64+ 14 (Ethernet header) + 4 (Ethernet trailer))/1000/1000 = 15,744Gbps ;) - all ports receives and sends out almost wire speed small packets - impressive :)

Pre-production simply means that initial manufacturing capacity is not so high, and RouterOS v6 is not yet completely mature. Hardware will not change (except gradual revisions over time, just like any product)

Eh? 16Gbps (or ~24mpps) throughput is only full bidirectional throughput for 8 ports (1gbps transmit, 1gbps receive = 2gbps throughput total).

If you're passing traffic through the CCR1036-12G-4S you'd need to be able to get 16Gbps in each direction (or 32Gbps total) simultaneously for it to be classified as wirespeed.

16 1Gbps Ports * 2 = 32Gbps Duplex Throughput * 1.488 Mpps = 47.616Mpps Wirespeed Throughput

Lets clear out confusion. (i think it is at least third topic on this matter in last few years)

Throughput
In communication networks, such as Ethernet throughput or network throughput is the average rate of successful message delivery over a communication channel.

So in plain words - you send traffic from side A and wait how much traffic will come out via side B.
RFC2544 is a testing standard that have set of instructions and conditions that specified, how to determine DUT (device under test) throughput.

Anyway theoretical maximal throughput of the device can be sum of all port TX - 16 ports = 16Gbps =~24mil pps

as always, it depends on configuration and on how many interfaces are in use. Also, what will be cost of 16 1Gbit interfaces (if you populate SFP ports with copper Gbit modules) for your x86 box.

CCR VPN performance

Are there any performance figures for tunnel and VPN performance of the CCR?

I'm looking at a PPTP VPN server application and would like to know the throughput of any individual connection and the total aggregated throughput of multiple users. I've been hitting the throughput limits of 1200 and 1100ahx2 recently and the CCR appears to be 'the way to go'. I don't have to use encryption (would prefer it though) as the users are connecting over a private LTE network.

Hello Hozmax,
The ccr 1036 is faster than Intel i7 6 core 3.3Ghz?
Please let us all being realistic, in your set up you are able to insert sfp network interface cards from hot lava
and there for it will be not reach the same network throughput for the CCR series. Only in my poor opinion, but
it should be better to compare x86 machines against x86 machines and RouterBoards against Routerboards or if
you wish RouterBoards to routers from other vendors, but please also even products matching the same price
range and device class.

HotLava product page: http://www.hotlavasystems.com/products_gbe.html
Krakatoa 8155-2P Datasheet (PDF): http://www.hotlavasystems.com/pdfs/Krak ... -6P_ds.pdf

As an example:
You would not be fair if you are going on to compare a VW Beetle with an Porsche Cayenne,
but they both are owning a motor that burn petrol, 4 wheels and they are also both cars for civil usage.

The most peoples that acting very serious by doing router comparisons or tests are buying or assembling those devices and run then a test inside their network, with their specific needs, rule sets and then it will be coming nearly an equal
point that they would be able to chose where they want to point their device in action!

The i7 6core (HT with 12)max CPU load 42%. Simple Queues 1200, L7, 350Mbit / s,
this will take the load from the CCR?

martini, you should know better than ask such questions. I thought you know that this depends on type of traffic, type of rules, type of other config and settings. there is no such thing as "1000 firewall rules"
Why UBNT with Edgemax can share his results (tolly report)
you can read the small print in that report, it will explain what type of rules and how many of them. we can publish similar report, but it will not answer your questions (because of the type of rules they have there)

And know tell me who is able to compare this machines for you with an exactly clone of your pc based router?
The i7 6core (HT with 12)max CPU load 42%. Simple Queues 1200, L7, 350Mbit / s,
this will take the load from the CCR?
Once more again, only for you, peoples who are doing seriously router comparing tests, are buying the devices
let them run in their network environments, to compare them against and based on this results, they are able to
come closer to use this devices where, when and for what! Only in my poor opinion.

@martini
Do you want to start the second version of the thread as "the locked thread 2.0"?
http://forum.mikrotik.com/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=63693
Tilera quotes:
The Tile-Gx36 (1.40GHz) has demonstrated an industry-best CoreMark score of over 165 000 (over 60% higher compared to Intel Core i7-2600K), while consuming a fraction of the power of the nearest competitor.

In networking, a single Tile-Gx36 can deliver more than 40 gigabits per-second of L2/L3 packet forwarding performance across small and large packet sizes using less than 25W of power.In cloud, a single Tile-Gx36-based server can provide better performance than a Xeon-based system at one-fifth the power and one-eighth the space.
Above performance numbers and the fact that each port is directly connected to CPU, CCR could be a game changer for routerboard family.

truly impressive chip from TILERA :P
probably increasing production/sales/usage of chips both improve income and decrease prices.
and thuse bring whole new meaning/caps to networking.
rumored to be used in future acoustic/radar processing and satellite imaging by US and British military, for example. so this mean HUGE order from US DoD and price drop for other customers.

wonder/expect about something placed/targeted/priced between CCR Routerboards and present 2011.
built on to say/example, 8 core Tilera or 4-core ProAptiv chip[variant with FP and DSP] at 900Mhz, with 512 Mb RAM, one SFP+ cage, 8 1Gb-T copper ports, 128 Flash for[dunno] $189 ?
could be game/market changer, probably. and/or something alike, to: 1. fill gap. 2. exploit wonderful arch/chips potential[more widely].

[off-topic]
btw, there any chances/signs about 10Gbase-T adoption by Routerboards ? ie as "LAN" ports.
is any rumors how soon Atheros adopt Aptiv-core features/generation of MIPS?

I know that anyone has yet touched the ccr1036, but seeing the video of the ccr1036 and test performed on RB 1100 AHx2, I have the following doubts:

I see the max traffic per interface using small packets (64 bytes) its like 1 Mpps, and 500 Mbits, its possible saturate a gigabit interface with 64 bytes packets coming from another 2 interfaces ?
I need combine traffic from 3 peers BGP to a distribution network connected to a Gig interface.
I will need to modify our network to use 1 port for each distribution equipment ? or will be able to use like now using only 1 interface ?
What about firewall, pcc, p2p control ? If only use 3 ports will be possible to use the extra CPU cores to process this kind of traffic ?

Best Regards

well if even 2011 can do about 150-170Mbps[SFP itself peaked at 85Mbps] on 64b packets traffic[without firewall, quees, p2p control and etc, you need], but 16-core and 36 core CCR with doubled frequency[and new arch]probably would do 1Mb+500Mb even with management/control you need/used.
scalability on Tilera chips-based hardware more depend[just like on other MP systems]on scalability of firmware/software[&latency/bandwith of interconnect and external bus]. thats why im pointed/devoted to Erlang lang. difference with C code measured in hungreds on stress load.

Here are preliminary (RouterOS v6 rc) results for the CCR 36 core version. Note that filter rules, including bridging and forwarding, will have fastpath support in one of the future versions which will bring it back to possibly wire speed for 64 byte packets (full duplex).

Double the numbers in the table to see aggregate (one packet coming in, one leaving):

I'm thinking of buying 1016-12G cloud core router.
But i didn't find any info on web site:

How is it with the ipsec encryption acceleration? rb1100ahx2 has acceleration core but what about this?

Is there one core per port? or it will use as many ports as it needs for one interface routing?

I'm thinking of making ipsec router from main office to many smaller offices.

How it will work with tunneling encrypting decrypting?

Re: CLOUD CORE ROUTER

Posted: Wed Dec 12, 2012 1:53 pm
by normis
Currently the hardware acceleration is not supported in software, but in future we will add this via software update.

No, each core is not assigned to specific port, one port will work with all cores, they will be assigned per task, not per port.

so i think, that would be not a problem to encrypt 500mbps~ with those cores?
or it will use one core per ipsec tunnel ?

I have almost the same question but on using it for pppoe without encryption. Will the pppoe service run on 1 core or will it create a new service for each tunnel. Would really like to replace my current servers if possible, they are big and power hungry.

Looking on "preliminary (RouterOS v6 rc) results for the CCR 36 core version" shown by normis, and comparing it with my BGP-server (xeon 2527 MHz, 4 core, ), I think CCR will be same or even worse performance than core i7 3.3Ghz...

Thanks Normis for the pre-performance chart. How is the performance using queue trees instead of simple queues?

During normal operation, fans are quieter than RB1100AHx2 fans. With heavy load they can become slightly noisier, but that doesn't happen too often (hard to load this device ;) )

No hardware changes. But as you know from other products that we make, we always make small hardware improvements, and development never stops. There are many small hw revisions for the RB750 for example. So I guess during the next year, it is possible that some small hw adjustments will be made, if this would be necessary.

The CCR that we are starting to ship, is going to be pre-loaded with RouterOS v6rc5, which is not the full release, and is not yet completely optimized to use full potential of the Cloud Core Router. These are some of the features we are working on for eventual release in v6

- fastpath support for firewall rules
- more optimized queuing
- fastpath for bridge filter rules
- multicore optimizations for IPsec tunnels
- hardware acceleration support for IPsec

The CCR device itself has a lot of potential, and software upgrades will make it better and better.

Not a problem. Here we will start deploying it beside existing production infrastructure, test it, keep its firmware up to date, and when we feel it's mature enough, it will become part of the main infrastructure.

Hello,

I'm using CCR 16core as a Main L3 switch from ISP. my total bandwidth is 2G but CCR support only 1G port.
so i made bonding interface for uplink to ISP backbone router and downlink to my main ROS x86 server.
my ISP using Cisco Backbone grade router and they made LACP for 2 of 1G RJ45 connection to my Rack.

and also i made 2 of Bonding interface using CCR port 9,10 for My main x86 machine(rr mode) and port 11,12 for UPLINK (802.3ad mode)

at this moment, CCR work well without any issues. it handle 2.5~4Gbps traffic between x86 machine and internet.
but there are TX-packet drop on bonding interface .

and i don't understand why. please guide me to solve this issue.

P.S. RX-drop of x86 machine can ignore. it happend long time ago.
P.S.2 x86 machine handle 300 of c-class subnet

Getting eager to jump the gun on this, but my main concern is still sound, it will be in a ventilated closet at home, in the hallway. Thus how do you perceive the sound level of the 16 and 32 core units? It will replace a RB800 where the 800 was way to loud first until I modified it.
I think the 16 core would do, but I like the SFP cages....

Re: CLOUD CORE ROUTER

Yesterday I received the CCRs, as you can see from my previous post. I was very happy and couldn't wait this night to install it. At this very moment, I'm sitting at our NOC. We just replaced our Core Mikrotik router with one CCR. The old router is quad core xeon Portwell server (Power Router 2200).
I expected the CCR will perform at least as the PR2200. Unfortunately, this is not the case.
I saved the configuration on the PR2200 and loaded it to the CCR. All what was left to be done was to match the IP adresses to the interfaces. After this was done, we removed all the cables from the PR2200 and plugged them into the CCR.
At this time (after midnight) we have very low traffic. So, we generated some traffic from my colleague's laptop. One simple torrent literally killed the CCR! I was disconnected from Winbox and the whole traffic simply stopped! This is strange, as the CCR's CPU usage was below 90% which should give enough space for winbox to stay active.
The problem was L7 filtering, which we used with zero problems on the PR2200. It's CPU usage was never above 20% with 5 times higher traffic and many times higher PPS!
I had to unplug both ethernet cables to our upstream providers to be able to connect to the router at all. Afer I switched off the L7 filtering, everything went back to normal. But, is it possible that the traffic from one laptop and traffic just above 10Mbit can kill the CCR regardless of L7 filtering? The packets per second was small as well...
Well, I can't say I'm impressed so far, until somebody gives some explanation about this.
I made a few pictures of the CCR LCD, so you can see what traffic is it about.

Well, this is not acceptable.... Without router reboot or anything similar, the system name has reset to default (which is something I can live with). But, ALL users and their passwords have disappeared! The default admin/no_password user was present instead!!!! Very serious security problem, though. I set again the same users and disable the admin user. I hope so that this will not happen again. Since I'm using MikroTik (and it is really a long time ago) I never experienced something like this.

This happened while the BGP was started, retrieving the routes from 2 peers. I don't know is this connected, it actually should not be.

/system check-installation does not show any problem. LCD is set to "read-only".

Guys, sorry for this many posts from me.

Unfortunately, the "user reset" happened again. This time I can't log in with either my username nor admin/no_password

Before this happened, I was logged in winbox. The log showed again that the router was rebooted without proper shutdown. After that I logged off, but was not possible to log in again.

Well, this is enough, I can't leave it as is for the New Year evening. We will revert back to the PR2200. :(

Do you use your CCR with the default admin user, with no password set up?

for me it happened on x86. seemed like HDD was lost: no entries in /files, and admin's password reset to default. reboot - and everything is back :)
this has happened to me a number of times, i thought my hhd was faulty now i think its ROS

@Chupaka

I tried to make supout.rif so many times, as the user reset issue happened 3 times before the router finally decided to lock itself! I of course rebooted it at the end, but without luck... Simply, after clicking the "Make supout.rif" button, it says that it is creating the file. However, the information box never closes, and the file is never created! I know it takes some time to create the file but if >30 minutes is not enough while the CPU usage is 3%, I don't know what to say....

Yes.Currently default. I will setup another user/pass and try with it to check if same happens

Btw;
There is a MAC-Winbox issue. It takes around 5-6 tries to get into the CCR.

I experienced the MAC-Winbox issue as well, but I think it is Win7 related. Linux+Wine, no problem with MAC access.

can you send us the supout.rif file on your CCR when you are running RC6 and have the L7 issue? We would like to see your config, and the issue itself.

Been playing with my CCR today, and hit a snag..... Why on earth do we only have a Max MTU of 6130? I run my core at 9000 generally, so the idea of using these in the core one day is completely kiboshed. Earlier Routerboards have had MTU of 9000+ for some time, why the change of heart....

Secondly, tell me this is a software limitation not hardware. :(

Installed our first CCR this morning. Plug in one ethernet cable, all is good. Switch over the remaining cables from our RB1100AHx2 and the CCR starts rebooting. Remove cables, CCR stays up. CCR has RC6 on it.

There is no watchdog IP address on this router. Power cables were swapped, different power outlets were used, etc.

Any idea why plugging in ethernet cables would cause it to reboot over and over again?

martini, bandwidth test is not any measurement for cloud core router. this was made 10 years ago, for routers of that time. I suggest you use something more serious, like the new Traffic generator. Or real traffic. You currently only use one core.

Hi Normis,

Maybe remove btest from RouterOS, and have a default "Bandwidth Test" profile in the Traffic Generator.

That should reduce support requests :)

I'm having the same reboot loop, it started when I was changing vlan and bridge membership. Stops when I unplug all the cables. I just emailed support.

Is it really true that we can't run 5.22 on these things? The option is there to download netinstall, but I haven't tried it.

Normis, we had to suspend the purchase of CCR36.
We are disappointed by performance.

NORMIS, you are sure that this performance problem on CCR36 will be resolve with updating software?
In our view, the instruction set of the processor does not have reserve to improve performance when working on Layer 7 level.
In our view Corei7 4C/8HT 2,5 Ghz will still be faster than CCR36, not only on the Layer 7, but also at other levels, including data encryption.
Yes, the matcher which takes care of L7 rules, is currently not optimised for multicore. You will get 36x the performance with software update.

If you took a number between 10 and 30 it would be believable. Everybody who has done some parallel computing knows that multiply by the number of cores is way to optimistic.
36x is marketing we are tired of.

Support is working with me, but it's still rebooting on RC7. Seems to be related to bridges, I have two bridges configured. It reboots as soon as I plug anything into the second bridge.

We currently run an x86 based RouterOS systems for our core routers.
They were all custom built systems, and we are looking to upgrade for various reasons.

We want to make sure that whatever we install are at least as powerful.

Currently the systems are Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 based, with 2GB of ram.
The busiest unit runs our bandwidth control, and typically sees 20-25 % with spikes into the mid 30s on occasion. However this is all on one of the cores. So in reality the unit is seeing ~50% usage, as we have never really seen the 2nd core do much of anything.

We want to start adding in additional tasks. More packet prioritization, possibly using L7 rules.
When looking at the CloudCoreRouter specs they list performance metrics for routing with a handful of simple queues and firewall rules.

Would it be possible for Mikrotik to provide a sample config, that could be run by end-users to evaluate what we are using now. I would be interested in purchasing 4 of the CloudCoreRouters is I knew they would be faster then what we use now.

To put it in perspective one of our main units has ~900 simple queues, ~60 filter rules, ~60 mangle rules, and preforms some light NATing for a few local servers. Trying to guess how one of the CCRs would handle this same load without buying one isn't easy.

If you read ROS6RC6 thread you'll learn that MT has not started optimizing CCR for L7 yet. It appears that L7 engine is bound to one core only at this time. This is w/o a doubt a revolutionary product, however, like more experienced MT users said before me, wait till ROS version >6.10 for production ready product.

HI all,
got my 2 CCR last week and shoved them into action.

so far happy with the CPU usage 3% compared to 20-40% on my old x86 'Mikro noc 8400's from titan wireless'

i am getting the '14:14:36 system,error,critical router was rebooted without proper shutdown error every 10-30 mins. I only noticed it in the logs when i logged into the router to see why my stg.exe graphs where showing 'red bars' (ie as if the router was down) but there was still full traffic though my network ect.
it does seem to cause some jitter.

What’s the current best method to do a BW test between routers
(i have a CCR on one site, and a CCR at another with a fibre backhaul between and want to test the link, i think the crappy modules provided by the supplier are hitting max packet count)

My CCR finally arrived yesterday due to some problems in customs office.
Been waiting for it for the last 2 weeks.
I've been getting 150k/pps syn flood attacks recently. Let's see how my new CCR deals with them.
Normally my overclocked RB1100's die instantly before I can null route attacked ips.100% CPU and nothing works.
I wonder how my new CCR deals with the same kind of attack.
This is the first time I am waiting for an attack with such excitement.
and No I don't need any test attacks to my network :D
My attacker will do it sooner or later anyway ...

Distribution over cores happens automatically, you can't assign them yourself. Not all features support multicore completely yet, each RouterOS v6 update adds more support, so with every release, the CCR is getting faster.

I am about to order one but I had question about port/cpu. The router I am contemplating replacing currently only has ports in use. Wan/Lan, the lan port terminates 20 or so vlans in the building (router on a stick type config) with 1 vlan going to ospf distribution routers for other buildings.

From what I have seen it looks like the certain cpus are tied to certain ports. Am I wasting resources if I configure a CCR in this same way? I was thinking about possibly dropping fiber from the roof so at least the other buildings are on additional ports.

On Tilera platform CPU allocation happens "behind the scenes" (part of Tilera advantage is that the software does not have to be optimized for parallel processing). That said, certain parts (MT has not revealed which) of ROS are not optimized for the architecture, like L7 filters and use only one CPU. Most likely, if all you do is routing, you'll be able to push 1Gb+1Gb on your LAN port.

You have to program parallel to get parallel execution. Some parallel environments help distribute processes and memory afinities but you have to take care. Dont expect fast Progress and expect additional instabilities due to more complex code.

Hi, today I got CCR router and I have problems right from the start. I put SFP module (that has previously been in the TP-Link media converter and is used to link to one of the providers) in spf slot . After I put the module in the CCR, the orange led is lit, ROS says that the link is ok and running but I can't make any traffic through that interface. It is a cisco BIDI module SBP6H44-C1-BN-49.

From what I've read Tilera platform presents itself as single multithreaded CPU (as it maintains cache coherency and TLBs across CPUs). So the software does not have to be written for multiprocessor/cluster architecture but it does have to be multithreading.

How to add or/allocate the ROS the 36 cores to processing services ?

Other.:

The cloud core router have on board 24v power supply, using the sites telco style rack mount 27/54 volt power backup systems(cet,delta,efore,flatpack etc..) after the future make the ccr router dc power outlet connector the back-panel ( phoenix contact connector etc.. ? ), and add this feater, make the router redundancy power supply external dc source ?!

Regards

Krisztian
Distribution over cores happens automatically, you can't assign them yourself. Not all features support multicore completely yet, each RouterOS v6 update adds more support, so with every release, the CCR is getting faster.
Thank you the answer Normis ! The ros 6 version support yet the multicore pppoe server service? The future ,aggregate about 2500 pppoe session the ccr and the traffic about 900mbit/500mbit.(the pppoe session use pap/chap encryption, change tcp mss :no, connection tracking: on)

My second question :
The future add external dc connector the ccr back-side? My company purchase about 60 pics 1100ah/1200/1100ahx2 devices,disconnect the main power supply, and make dc out connection the power backup system.

Regards

From what I've read Tilera platform presents itself as single multithreaded CPU (as it maintains cache coherency and TLBs across CPUs). So the software does not have to be written for multiprocessor/cluster architecture but it does have to be multithreading.
May be. You may get a parallel program which works. But to get a good scaling you have to take care where the data is and coordinate thread access to the data. Believe me it adds a lot of complexity.

Hi, today I got CCR router and I have problems right from the start. I put SFP module (that has previously been in the TP-Link media converter and is used to link to one of the providers) in spf slot . After I put the module in the CCR, the orange led is lit, ROS says that the link is ok and running but I can't make any traffic through that interface. It is a cisco BIDI module SBP6H44-C1-BN-49.

Same problem here!! tried many sorts of SFP, HP or CISCO firmware - that does not change anything - link is lit on CCR and it shows that the interface ir "runing" and the link is up, but on the cisco side link is not lit and the port remains in "not connected" state!!

By the way - where RC7 can be downloaded??

Try to change autonegotiation on or off on the Cisco side. I had such problems even between cisco products (routers / switches).

I am about to order one but I had question about port/cpu. The router I am contemplating replacing currently only has ports in use. Wan/Lan, the lan port terminates 20 or so vlans in the building (router on a stick type config) with 1 vlan going to ospf distribution routers for other buildings.

From what I have seen it looks like the certain cpus are tied to certain ports. Am I wasting resources if I configure a CCR in this same way? I was thinking about possibly dropping fiber from the roof so at least the other buildings are on additional ports.
On Tilera platform CPU allocation happens "behind the scenes" (part of Tilera advantage is that the software does not have to be optimized for parallel processing). That said, certain parts (MT has not revealed which) of ROS are not optimized for the architecture, like L7 filters and use only one CPU. Most likely, if all you do is routing, you'll be able to push 1Gb+1Gb on your LAN port.
You have to program parallel to get parallel execution. Some parallel environments help distribute processes and memory afinities but you have to take care. Dont expect fast Progress and expect additional instabilities due to more complex code.
its about C/C++-written/based software/firmware/OS behavior - such scalability near impossible.
gor message-passing stuff. preferably Erlang.
as shortcuts from baseline Linux migration L4 MK branches could b handy.

My CCR finally arrived yesterday due to some problems in customs office.
Been waiting for it for the last 2 weeks.
I've been getting 150k/pps syn flood attacks recently. Let's see how my new CCR deals with them.
Normally my overclocked RB1100's die instantly before I can null route attacked ips.100% CPU and nothing works.
I wonder how my new CCR deals with the same kind of attack.
This is the first time I am waiting for an attack with such excitement.
and No I don't need any test attacks to my network :D
My attacker will do it sooner or later anyway ...
Any update?

Hey
there are no updates.
My older rb1100 was around %20 load with normal operation
CCR is %0
Everything is the same as the rb1100 , rules , queue, firewall etc.
I did not get any attacks for the last couple of days. So I really don't have any chance to test CCR performance under attack.
I did tried to compile the damn juno.c code on my own to perform some real tests.
But I did not managed to do it :D

So basically there are no updates. CCR looking good. And performing %99.2 idle at the moment.
If I will have some time to figure out how to compile the juno code this weekend, maybe I myself will try to take my CCR down :)
All for educational purposes....

Today i replaced my router x86-PC (Core i5 2500K 3.3Ghz) who worked as NAS server to CCR1036-12G-4S

At first everything was fine. As soon as the number of VPN became more than 500-600 pc`s and traffic exceeded 250 Mbit/s the strange things began to happen:
- Interfaces - Ethernet was empty. Within 30 minutes the interfaces was appear then disappear, and the system is works normal.
- LCD display hang
- On the PPP Interface is displayed 2 - 15 vpn sessions, while on the PPP - Active connections appear all.
- In an hour from the beginning of the work sounded a double beep when loading, but the system does not rebooting and after that radius stopped working normally. (Customers takes the same IP address, some could not authenticate, etc...)

The impression is that Winbox and LCD "has no time to show what happens in the router")

Yesterday, I received brand new CCR for testing from friend of mine. So, after loading backup (I mean configuring it to work as previous mikrotik router) I just plugged it into company's backbone. And it happened again, as previous x86 machine, mighty CCR wasn't been able to handle 800 pppoe sessions and simple queues, somehow clients has internet working but I'm not able to see any interfaces in winbox and telnet interface. Addresses and queues are assigned to unknown ;)
After that I decided to upgrade my backbone to more professional equipment...

I tried the new version 7, and I have the following problem with the bonding interfaces.

2 bond with 4 ports on the other side is a Cisco portchanel.
At one bond interface vlan got up with an IP address. -Vlan and IP address are not achievable nor telnet, or a mac-telnet.

Once you disable the interface bond and solve several router crashes and shows all interfaces and disable then re-solve not see any interface. Router defies the command reboot, shutdown i etc.

P.S. I had the same problem with version 6.ll the interfaces after repeated bans

I have the same problem as "turgon".

Sorry, for my English.

In the "Queue Tree" if i set parent "global" dramatically increases delays in all directions. Also increases the CPU load.

I've been reading over the review of the CCR and i'm looking at the 16Core and wondering how stable are they on RC7?
We have a need for a router to do alot of nat/conntracking and traffic shaping/Vpn's and it's a CCR or a 1100AH2.
While the 1100 is a good device compared to the CCR specs are very different and money doesn't change much however we will need something stable as I can't be rebooting this device every few hours.
I guess what I really need to know is is the CCR stuff ready for production and if it's just a case that ROS6 is the issue it's a shame it can't be downgraded to stable 5.x

Its been more than 3 days I have sent a supout file from one of the latest RC7 pre builds for the "fake reboot" bug for CCR to Mikrotik support to be able to spot the bug.

Noone replied back whether the issue is found or not. I guess is it solved or what ?

BUG#2

RB800 + RB616 loaded with RC6. When you click on interfaces>ethernet from winbox, winbox quits and auto-supout file is created ! sometimes router hangs !

We have problem with our CCR1036 bridge function. It's slightly different issue than what has been already discussed here in this topic by sx10 or by midsizewisp. There is only one rstp bridge is defined in our router with 6 ports: ether1, ether3, ether10, ether11, sfp3, sfp4. Currently only the ether ports are used. When the problem occurs, the IP traffic stops on 3 out of 4 used bridge port (everytime the same 3 ports fail). Disabling and reenabling the bridge can solve the problem. We experienced this about 3 or 4 times a day with RC6 and RC7. (It might be this happens slightly less with the RC7...)

Hi guys.

I've been working with a PC (x86) box using RouterOS to do QoS for my clients, mainly bandwith allocation to my customers... I have ~1200 queue tree rules and almost the same qty of firewall mangle rules (for packet marks). I mark the packets only by IP address/network for upload and download stream. Connection Tracking is enabled so mangle rules can work. The machine acts as a bridge.

Also this machine has some firewall filter rules to protect itself and to block some clients when needed.

The specs of the machine are the following:

Intel Pentium Dual Core 3 GHz
2 Gb RAM
2 NICs FastEthernet (3Com)

The operating system is installed on a CF card and attached to the machine with an CF-IDE adapter.

The machine manages 70-80 Mbps of traffic almost permanently and manages ~10000 pps.

The performance of the machine is great: 45% CPU load, 60 Mb of memory used.

I've tried to change this machine before and tested the following mikrotik hardware without success:

RB1000, RB1100, RB1100x2, RB1200.... none of these worked well with this configuration.. the CPU load was at 100% for them and I couldn't work well.

I'd like to change this machine again, and I'm thinking about the CCR 16 cores to do it.... what would you recommend??? is this machine powerfull enough to handle my current traffic and let me grow and grow and grow as time passes??? What makes me think a bit about the change is that this CCR only has 1.2 GHz of CPU speed...

I'd really appreciate your comments and suggestions...

Thanks and best regards.

Rafael.

We went from an Intel Q9300 to the CCR 32, previously on the Q9300 our cpu load was 26% cpu at 120mbps/220mbps on 5.6 x86 using Intel NICS, after upgrading to the CCR-36, our router is at 1-2% for the same 360mbps of combined bandwidth (up/down). This 64 bit CCR 36 is definitely quite more powerful than running newer Intel processors at x86. I would imagine you will see the same results with a CCR 16

Thanks for your answer @brianlewis... I'd like to know if you have some mangle and packet shaping configuration (queue trees) on this box as this is the bottleneck of my system. I have two other boxes (1 RB1000 and 1 RB1200) that only do routing stuff and they handle the same traffic as the x86 box and they work great with CPU load in 10% max. So, the problem I have is not the amount of traffic itself, but the mangle rules and traffic shaping that I'm doing with the box,.... Do you or anybody else have this CCR routers doing this kind of stuff???

Thanks for your answers... best regards.

Thanks for your answer @brianlewis... I'd like to know if you have some mangle and packet shaping configuration (queue trees) on this box as this is the bottleneck of my system. I have two other boxes (1 RB1000 and 1 RB1200) that only do routing stuff and they handle the same traffic as the x86 box and they work great with CPU load in 10% max. So, the problem I have is not the amount of traffic itself, but the mangle rules and traffic shaping that I'm doing with the box,.... Do you or anybody else have this CCR routers doing this kind of stuff???

Thanks for your answers... best regards.
Like yourself I have a similar situation for our core routers. We have large amount of queue/mange/firewall. I have never had a problem moving 300-400 Mbps through a RB1200AHx2 but when I slap 1000 queues, and a few hundred mangle/firewall rules the CPU just can't keep up, and our x86 based RouterOS machines pull way ahead.

I really would like a few sets of Mikrotik supplied configs. Maybe a light one with 25 queues/25 mange rules/25 firewall rules, and have a medium 100 of each and a stressful config with a 1000 of each. This way it would be easy to compare apples to apples. Load the desired Mikrotik config, run traffic generator through the unit being tested using RBs on either side, and then we'd have a good set of performance metrics to compare. Until then it just seems like guess work on how these CCR units will compare to current x86 units many of us use.

Cheers

Is anyone currently using the latest rc7 build? My current rc7 build (jan 14th) works great. Just worried about upgrading now :D

get latest build from place you got your current one. There are a lot of changes done since 14th of January

and we have not experienced any problems with upgrade on CCR (or any other arch)

FYI, the latest build for today fixed the LCD not being connected after I reenabled it. I also haven't installed a build since the 16th. It could have been fixed somewhere in between.

The official RC7 is working great, so far I haven't had any more "router was rebooted" messages.

I just upgraded CCR on latest rc7 version which i downloaded from official download link. After upgrade status of ports 1,2,3,4 is running and link ok even there's nothing connected on those ports. After that I downgraded CCR on rc7 which I downloaded 5 - 6 days ago and everything get back to normal as about ports.

Does it means that size of the downloaded file will be different when new build is released?
I downloaded the file routeros-tile-6.0rc7.npk 11.01.2013, 12.01, 13.01 and the size of their equal.
If you click on them once you uploaded to your device, you will see the build date.

I still do not like the TX Drops and RX Drops reported by your screen shot.
I think there are a lot of problems and it is more like an early alpha then an RC.

They used to call it RC beacuse they push the tests to us but it could be an MT task and not a cusotmers' task.

Why not publish my two yesterday's post? In general, this problem has already been described above, but it has not decided to RC7.

Max ambient temperature 50C @1.2Ghz; 70C @1Ghz CPU core frequency
this information from here http://routerboard.com/CCR1036-12G-4S . In my device temperature up to 55-60C. Maybe this is why it reboots ?
Now i plug coolers directly to power supply , so that they were constantly turned on. Temperature now is above 27-30C. Will see.

I guess this is ambient temperature, not CPU temperature which usually it's higher.

Hi, yurkou!
How does the CCR after the temperature change?

2 weeks of operation CCR once hung, while the minimum load.
The device have simply terrifying, noisy cooling. Was it really hard to install good-quiet fans, not Chinese ones?
