v6.19rc for CCR tests needed!

Fri Aug 08, 2014 4:18 pm

NOTE: in this build we have applied a patch that should solve most of the queueing related performance issues on CCR.
If these changes will provide positive feedback we will consider to put them into release of v6.19.
Please, test queues on CCR and report results and any problems you might find.

The changes also include long term stability imrovements

What's new in 6.19rc6 (2014-Aug-08 12:38):

*) CCR - major queueing performance fix
*) CCR - fixed crash on L2MTU change;
*) CCR - improved performance;
*) firewall - packet defragmenting will only happen with connection tracking enabled;
*) firewall - optimized option matching order with-in a rule;
*) firewall - rules that require CONNTRACK to work will now have Invalid flag when CONNTRACK is disabled;
*) firewall - rules that require use-ip-firewall to work will now have invalid flag when use-ip-firewall is disabled;
*) firewall - rules that have interface with "Slave" flag specified as in-/out-interface will now have Invalid flag;
*) firewall - rules that have interface without "Slave" flag specified as in-/out-bridge-port will now have Invalid flag;
*) firewall - rules with Invalid flags will now be auto-commented to explain why;
*) console - added unary operator 'any' that evaluates to true if argument
is not null or nothing value;
*) l2tp - force l2tp to not use MPPE encryption if IPsec is used;
*) sstp - force sstp to not use MPPE encryption (it already has TLS one);
*) sstp - report TLS encryption as well;

upgraded my ccr from 6.15 to 1.19rc6 and ..at first boot it didn't came up....
power it down/up again and .. it wake up...

And simple queue.
And really performance increased.

ros 6.19rc6 faster increase of tx drops .. 1day up 1900 drops
ros 6.15 20 days up .....124

simple queues seems faster wich is good....

Mario606 · Sat Aug 09, 2014 10:54 pm

Hi Guys,

I have seen the exact same issues concerning the CCR using mangles and simple queues after version ~6.14, the most frustrating thus far is the Queue/Mangle Performance but another feature that also has not been mentioned is that all SNMP services running on our CCR's run for a few hours after reboot and after that an snmpwalk command shows ZERO data. I have tried start/stopping the service with no success the only thing that works is a reboot.

I see that this issue has not been addressed yet in the v6.19 changelog?

Thanks

PtDragon · Sun Aug 10, 2014 12:17 am

Mail was delayed so i write result here
It did not improve performance at all for my configuration and make router unresponsive.
Actually performance was lower and system locked during speed test.
supout sent and waits for retry in mail queue...

Stillhard · Sun Aug 10, 2014 9:20 am

tested the rc5 in x86 and the radius server not responding, the userman web showed 404
downgrade to 6.18 solved the problem...

Shiro · Sun Aug 10, 2014 6:24 pm

Installed 6.19rc6 on my CCR1009. I have dnat rules for mail and www. dnat rules involving port 443 never reaches the target host and just timeout. Going back to 6.18 solve this issue. Other ports work fine.

Hi,

On CCR1016-12S-1S+ I set SFP1 & SFP2 to 9000 L2MTU, added a 802.3ad bonding interface, with interfaces SFP1 & SFP2 as slaves, then added a VLAN interface to bonding1.

The result is the VLAN interface (and bonding 1) will not pass traffic, and SFP10 / SFP11 / SFP12 interfaces light up / blink like there is traffic with nothing connected to them.

Also have a few packages I'm not using disabled.

RoS6.19rc6
8500 simple queue

traffic about 300Mbit/s load 30%, active users about 1000
if traffic > 300Mbit/s loop reboot every 1 min load 100%

RoS6.18 500-600Mbit load 70%, works stability. But in BHCA we have about 1.5 Gbit/s, so we didn't tested MT in this time.

RoS6.19rc6
80 magle rules for mark traffic 20 HTB queues in tree pcq
700 Mbit/s avg 50% ( but when we switch MT for Linux, where is 1.2Gbit/s)
RoS6.18 400Mbit/s avg 60% (but when we switch MT for Linux, where is 1.2Gbit/s)

so "queue tree and simple " have a sad perfomance.

Linux+tc+ipset+iptables = 1.5G avg 50% in same configuration ( 8500 queues) in BHCA

After the 6:17 version only problems.
CCR and RB1100 presenting as PPPoE server reboots. RBs three new 433AH we put into operation last week with version 4:17 reboot every 10 or 15 minutes and had intakes of 100% CPU at times.

RB1100 with rc6 also presented reboot.

It's complicated.

Did you test the version that this topic is about? v6.17 doesn't include the fixes described here. Also the fixes are for CCR, not RB1100

DogHead · Fri Aug 15, 2014 5:17 pm

There is a significant memory leak in 6.19rc6 on the RB433. We have disabled all packages unneeded packages, but it appears that we still lose about 5MB of memory per hour until the system reboots with a kernel panic

This router has previously been running for about 3 years with no issues.

We have not updated firmware from 3.10 to 3.18 because we bricked a previous router doing so.

We are going to test 6.19rc9 to see if it is any better.

skoenman · Fri Aug 15, 2014 10:42 pm

I tried 6.19rc but mine kept bombing out in the sense of not booting the network connections?? it would boot but no link on network??has anybody else had this

DogHead · Sat Aug 16, 2014 7:59 pm

Memory leak on RB433 continues in 6.19rc9. It may have slowed. It appears to be related to network traffic throughput. The more traffic, the faster the leak. Has anyone else experienced this.

DogHead · Sun Aug 17, 2014 10:13 am

I replaced the RB433 with a RB2011UiAS-2HnD-IN and am seeing the same memory leak under 6.19rc9. So the problem seems to be with the mips be build. I have uninstalled everything except the combined ROS package and NTP. Disabled wireless too.

There also is an issue with the watchdog timer which prevents the system from booting properly. Have seen this same issue with RB433. For now I disable the watchdog and all is well, but would prefer to have it running.

Systems hit about 70% of available memory and then get kernel panic.

We don't have any particularly long IP filters, are not running any scripts, and are not doing anything that we have not done for the last 3 years.

Problem seems to have appeared around 6.18. May have to downgrade to 6.15 which seemed reasonably stable.

Thoughts?

On CCR when you disable an ethernet interface and then reboot the router the interface becomes enabled when it restarts even though it shows as greyed out in winbox like it is disabled, this is a problem if you have 1000 PPPOE sessions coming in all at the same time after a reboot, if you disable an interface and reboot the router the interface should stay disabled.

normis, please explain what this line in changelog mean:

*) bridge - added ~loop protection~ stp enhancement

skoenman · Mon Aug 18, 2014 6:32 pm

ok what happened irst is i updated from 6.18 to 6.19 rc .... It booted up and was working.... I deleted a setting and the whole mikrotik interface crashed...now before you say user error. I did the sam thing on 6.18 without anything happening. After the crash the link lights on my x86 box wasnt coming on. I then proceded to put a keyboard and mouse onto the system which was running and i could log in but didnt have any ethernet links when doing the print command.

After hard resetting it came back on but only for a minute or two and then went bonkers again and lost link. When this happens you cant ping the router at all and it doesnt pick up in winbox.
With the hard reboot i loaded 6.18 and rebooted....been running for more than n week now just on that firmware and settings no problem.

WHat files do you need??? is there somewere were i can see what the error is???

ether1 and ether3 shortciruit by cable. Nothing changed i.e. bridge forwards ~300Mbps broadcasts (~400000 packets/sec) between interfaces, in log i see standart warning "interface,warning ether1 excessive broadcasts/multicasts, probably a loop" and nothing more happen.
Where i wrong?

skibi82 · Tue Aug 19, 2014 10:03 pm

Loop detection based on:
Sends the packet to the port, if the packet return then porst is shutdown for forward

Another method to detect loop is to observe Broadcast suddenly jump if their number and will be at some level is likely to have loops on a given port

Loop detection is super function when the function reaches the switch.
I am still waiting for stp implementations for the switch.

it is a new boolean option in bridge port configuration, disabled by default.

6.19rc11 - still not totally stable.
Passes tests on speedtest.net
Weird problems on creating many connections(torrent with unlimited connections, on 6.18 spikes load to 40% and runsseveral thousands connections, on 6.19rc11 - can do two ways(constant load 46+% and stops responding|(cant make supout, it hangs before supout completes) or does not allow enought connections to be estableshed (around 30-40 connections)))

Description and supout sent.

hedele · Fri Aug 22, 2014 1:22 pm

Linked ALMOST correctly

it's actually 13.25.6

13.25.6 AutoIsolate

A Boolean. Set by management if isolate (13.25.20) is to be set, causing a Designated Port to transition to Discarding if both AdminEdge (13.25.1) and AutoEdge (13.25.5) are FALSE and the other bridge presumed to be attached to the same point-to-point LAN does not transmit periodic BPDUs—either as a Designated Port or in response to BPDUs with the Proposal flag set (see 13.21). The recommended default of this parameter is FALSE. AdminEdge and AutoEdge are both reset only on ports that are known to connect to other bridges.

Hi, I have a CCR1016-12S-1S+ thanks to this update (6.19rc) has lowered the consumption during syn floods. (In my case 50% less) but the problem comes when there are no firewall rules, made a flood the CPU load goes up to 100% and the computer restarts itself. I already sent the ticket a few days ago. Someone feels the same?

We loaded 6.19 on our ccr 36, simple queues very fast and cpu load very low.

problems:
customers on pppoe started to get double ip's as we permit 2 ips per account, one for the cpe at home and the other to be used on the hotspot, never seen two ip's on other versions.
hotspot started to block authorised clients or bypassed ip ranges.

backed down to v6.6 as this stable but the simple queues are slower.

it would be great to get debug logs from your router and more details about the problem.
Please contact support (support@mikrotik.com) with such information or provide us with ticket number.
