No No, you didn't understand me... Mtik is installed on the server (HP ML3xx series) and the optimum is 500-600 online PPPoE users... I achieved 1100 online PPPoE users per Mikrotik but the CPU load was always to high and the packet loss was to high (1-2%). The problem is visible because the Mtik creates simple queue rule for every active connection. RADIUS server works perfectly with 5 NAS-es (2000-3000 online users in the same moment)... I just wanted to know is Mikrotik capable (according to users experiences) to act as a DHCP server for a large networks (for example 10k modems and 10k users behind those modems). best regards Marinko On 22.2.2012 13:53, Fajar A.

Hi
Can you tell me something about performances?
I'm using Mtik as NAS for PPPoE users and 500-600 online users per server is optimum according to my experiences (Quad core server, 2GB RAM,...). you mean the server is used by FR?
You either: - setup accouting interim interval to a very low value (e.g. 60 seconds), OR - your configuration is REALLY non-optimum
If you use files backend, then it's very easy to get several auth/sec. If you use db backend, then your main limiting factor will be accounting, which is limited by how fast your disk IOPS is.
So for starters: - what backend did you use for FR? mysql? postgres? others? - what kind of disk you have, and how many? (e.g. 2 x SATA 7200 rpm disks, in hardware raid 1) - what is your accounting interim interval? - did you modify the default db schema/queries (if using db backend)?
