It sounds like his question is more geared toward very high bandwidth
applications.... core routing for a multigigabit network, or datacenter
type operations.

The new CCRs can do everything you need. And limiting 100Mbps or
200Mbps customers is no problem.
We have them running BGP, OSPF, MPLS, PPPoE, firewalls, queues, etc.
and they just hum along without any performance issues.

Hi everyone. Been awhile since Ive been here, so not sure if this
is a redundant topic or not.
Anyone got experience with Mikrotik on their newer Multi-Core
platform, using as a Core Router for interconnecting multiple Gig
backbone connections (w/ BGP, OSPF, Queues, Firewalls, VLAN
tagging)?
To be more specific.... Comparing Mikrotik's 36 core 1.2Ghz models
to say a third party Quad core 3Ghz model.
What do we need 36 cores for, when we got 11 eth ports? Are they
even used by software? Is later Mikrotik Firmware allowing....
- multiple processors to handle a singe NIC port?
- which Mikrotik software features are able to effectively spread
accross to a unique processor or use multiple processors?
Is 1.2Ghz enough?
Do the embedded NICs in the 36core units pass full Gig capacity?
(In past, we learned depending on which NIC and driver brand, a
NIC could pass as low as only 30% of full capacity w/ large
packets, where as a later generation PCIE w/ ATIO Intel could pass
upward of 90% of full capacity w/ small packets.)
Im asking because back in the day, there were many Linux services
relating to routing that were written to be only single processor
support.
Because of this, it was important to have the highest speed Ghz
processor possible, since some critical services (the bottleneck)
would share only 1 primary processor, regardless of how many
processors were in the router.
In past experience specific to Mikrotiktik, I often ran into
issues with added features (firewall rules, Queues, etc)
drastically draining the processing power of a MT router slowing
throughput way below the theoretical published port throughput.
For example, can Queues or Firewalls spread multiple processors?
Can these 36core units handle bandwdith management (Limiting or
Queues) for high speed subscribers, such as 100mb and 200 mbps
customers?
In the GUI of v6.7, I dont see anything higher than 2mb or 10mb
depending on location of parameter.
