Thank you very much for the clarification. I have also noticed that we have MUCH better luck w/ the GIG RB syncing w/ a gig port on the Cisco 2960.
This is good news, too. I wonder if it is because of the chipsets that are used for the Cisco or on the MT side? Either way, it's a benefit.
One thing I have noticed is packet loss when configuring VLANs on the Mikrotik. When flooding small packet pings against a vlan interface on the Mikrotik (regardless of the switch), I have been seeing minor packet loss.
I've heard this, but not seen it myself. I only have one customer who is using VLANs on a large scale, and his MT boxes are all using intel server cards, with 3.2GHz CPU or better. I know he does some significan VoIP traffic, so he has periods of multiple hundreds (thousands?) of pps with pretty small packets. I'll ask him if he has noticed this problem, but (because of who it is), I suspect that if he HAD seen it, I'd know about it. ;-) Out of curiosity, are you seeing this problem with the 10/100 cards or the gigabit cards or both?
