PCQ is suppose to use a core per connection, so in theory it should have perfectly spread the load across all 36 cores. Instead most cores were fairly low, one core was constantly pegged.
I did forget to mention that 6.7 had a severe port flapping issue, but that was also when connected to my RB600 that had been hit by lightning 3 times. 6.12 on an RB2011 works perfect connected to the same RB600. We have the CCR in the cable plant now, mostly used as a dummy switch, light routing. It will soon handle a heavier load, DNS and ToD. ----- Original Message ----- From: Adam Moffett To: [email protected] Sent: Friday, June 05, 2015 1:08 PM Subject: Re: [AFMUG] CCR1036-8G-2S+EM Interesting.� I knew BGP was single threaded.� Apparently multi-threading BGP was too complex (or something) and they decided to optimize their algorithms instead.� I wasn't aware that anything else was limited to a single thread.� I sure hope that isn't still a thing.

With the QoS setup I have routing 250Mbps at the time, the CCR couldn't spread the load over multiple cores. When I disabled my QoS rules the CCR routed just fine at an idle. A big part of the reason we went with MT for the edge was the QoS control, so the CCR has now been assigned another job. I think this was around 6.12 or so. Might work better now. A lot of other things work better as of around 6.20. � � � ----- Original Message ----- From: Paul Stewart To: [email protected] Sent: Friday, June 05, 2015 10:18 AM Subject: [AFMUG] CCR1036-8G-2S+EM Anyone used one of these � any feedback? � I�m getting involved with a wireless expansion project probably at some point and these Routerboard CCR1036-8G-2S+EM were specified in the project plans. � Roughly speaking, 600-800Mb/s of traffic going through them � roughly 2500 PPPOE users terminating on it (BRAS).� This is just an estimate at this point�. � Whether I like it or not, it looks like I�m swimming into Routerboard and Ubiquiti territory �.
