MikroTik

for what I have read Mikrotik doesn't limit the bandwidth correctly when is more than 1Gbps

I don't have the exact site, but also during training this was mentioned a lot, I actually asked about this because right now we are limiting a 3 Gbps service seems like its working though.

And where did you read it?

I don't know what the problem is

Perhaps this a ChatGPT invasion LOL

When you say service - is there any chance you are referring to a circuit? Asking for the sake of clarity.

Yeah a circuit, I wrote it as a "service" in terms that we give them the "service" of connecting them to the internet. But in the case of our ISP they call it a circuit.

I decided to install a CCR2004 to deliver the 5Gbps, hope is not overkill. Don't be mad is this is stupid, there are so many different opinions on this matter, in example: when we started as an ISP we knew even less about Mikrotik than we know now, so we hired a consultant and they created the backbone(core network) for the ISP, after that I analyzed the configuration took the training in most of the certification of Mikrotik (sorry this is just background) and continued with it, since then the network has grown.

The point to this story is that we had and to certain point have a consultant and I asked the same question that I did my trainer and on this post: the answer of my trainer was that it was difficult for mikrotik to limit the bandwidth after certain Mbps, the answer of the consultant was that while using the CRS3XX I can deliver and limit the 5Gbps and there is your answer, which from what I understood is don't use a switch where you need a router and that is why is confusing.

You missed my point completely sippan, he should adjust for his fibre throughput not the throughput to the client............

Hi Angel, the logic escapes me?
You have a 10Gigabit Fibre line you are paying for.
You have one customer that is asking for 5gb,

Solution: Get a router that can handle 5gb only ?? Test result for queues and filters show a throughput of between 5-8gigs

Better Solution: Get a router that can handle 10gb and not maxed out capacity either, and thus can use or sell the rest of the fiber connection throughput.
CCR2116

No LOL,
I mean YOU are paying for 10gig fibre connection.

1. You have customer A, who wants to pay you for 5gigs for throughput
2. You may need some throughput for your own needs in same location (unknown , no context)
3. You are looking for other customers at location B,C,D that may want 1gig service each.

If you buy stupidly a router that cannot handle the throughput your paying for, then
you will not be able to make use of the rest of the throughput!!!!! ( either for own use or other customers )

Yes but this is the first time you mention you already have the router I was suggesting the 2116 LOL.. Good to go then.

The only router you pointed out was the 2004, which we know now, since you actually provided useful information, is NOT hooked up to fiber but to the 2116.

but I wanted to know if I could use a CRS, because our "consultant" told us it was feasible for queuing and routing

The topology is as follows:

Mayor ISP --> 10 Gbps --> CCR2216(BGP) --> 10Gbps --> CCR2004(Edge) --> 10Gbps(trying to limit to 5Gbps) --> <End user equipment>CCR2004
...
On the CCR2004 running v6.48 can't do a Queue with more than 4200Mbps(maybe a little bit more) but on the CCR2216 running v7.8 can create a queue with more than 4200Mbps, and my logic is that I need to limit the bandwidth at the edge.

• The big CCR2004 reboot thread (was 2004 hardware issues?)
• CCR2004 - random crashes watchdog no IP address
• CCR2004-1G-12S+2XS Performance Update Dec 2022 - 7.4.1 = 19Gbps

I'm not sure of installing a switch on the Client Site will be a good image for an "Enterprise Company"-ish.

Really? not...

A switch for 5Gbps is one switch only also on client side.

If you have to manage 100Mbps can suffice, but with 5Gbps you kill the CRS cpu...

I got two CCR2216 connected to each other at 100Gbps and tried the btest the max I got was 15Gbps processor at 100% and only an IP configured on the router for testing.

Bandwidth Test uses a lot of resources. If you want to test real throughput of a router, you should run bandwidth test through the tested router not from or to it. To do this you need at least 3 routers connected in chain: the Bandwidth Server, the router being tested and the Bandwidth Client.
