I believe it is something about processing packets for fastpath on the VPLS end tunnel that hasn’t been added yet in Mikrotik.
So I keep waiting for it to show up, but haven’t seen it yet. Could also be something else about implementing MPLS across that path, but that’s when everything ‘slowed down’ for me. Won’t know for sure until I revert some of it and test. Or they say something else about it in the release notes or newer versions. From: Af [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Cassidy B.

It wont have to lookup the full route in the route table.. just match the appropriate label to the label table. If that is true on Mikrotik, I couldn’t tell you.

But I’m still experiencing ‘slow downs’ at the VPLS port where I don’t get 9Gbps anymore, and it appears to be reduced to 5Gbps and 2Gbps for up/down. So I’m thinking of reverting back to straight OSPF and VRRP for my main customer end routing.

What are the pros/cons of using MPLS? I would think that you could save some public IPs if nothing else. Also, has anyone had any issues with MPLS/VPLS on the latest stable RouterOS version (6.38.1)? -Jason
