CCR-1036 running RouterOS 6.19 After some serious amounts of testing, we felt our CCR was ready to take the plunge. The core router talks BGP to our two Imagestream Edge routers and gets all 500k+ routes from each in about three minutes. Its PPPoE server manages to authenticate the bulk of nearly 1800 customers in four minutes. All's fine and dandy for about 12 hours, then not so fine and dandy things start happening. Overall traffic that should be near 600mbps seems to top off around 400mbps. Edge 1 goes unresponsive, VRRP doesn't kick in on Edge 2 and the entire network degrades. All devices on our public switch go partially unresponsive to pings including our DNS servers, other various VM's, and ESXi hosts themselves.
Here's the fun part: We took the CCR out, just flat out unplugged it and turned on our old Core routers. They start authenticating customers but they're insanely slow in doing it. It's not until we reboot our Edge 1 router that things get back to normal and the old Core routers authenticate at acceptable speeds. Could the CCR be inducing a problem in our Edge routers perhaps?
