2011-09-08 Thread Mike Williams
Hi all, Recently a discussion touched on the routing engine speed of the MX series, but there wasn't much like a real world comparison. So my question is, how slow is the RE on an MX80 compared to it's bigger brethren? I ask because we find the MX80 slow, really slow. As we've got 2 distinctly

I never bothered to ktrace to see what exactly is taking time during long commits, if you have time for this, might be interesting. Forgot to mention 'commit | display detail' might worth your time before going into ktrace, to see where time is being spend. -- ++ytti

Hi, On MX80 you have PowerPC for RE on other bigger MX you have Intel base RE. 10-15 minutes for rib-groups - no way it must be something wrong! Did you check RE status, error messages, check on show chassis routing-engine how much memory you have utilize! and with show system virtual-memory

What you're saying isn't too clear by churn through that job. Do you mean when your upstream routing sessions are coming up, it takes 15 minutes to process all the routes? Do you mean commit? Scott On Thu, Sep 8, 2011 at 7:41 AM, Mike Williams mike.willi...@comodo.comwrote: Hi all, Recently

userspace has to be recompiled for ppc. freebsd ppc tree has parity with x86 more or less. e.g. this is just another processor architecture. the relative performance of a freescale cpu vs say re-2000 is a consideration, just like you'd expect re-4x1800 to be faster than re-2000 joel On 9/8/11
