Are your routes moving at wire speed?
When you're pushing 100G through a CRS switch, every millisecond counts. In RouterOS v7, OSPF performance has been overhauled to handle the demands of modern high-speed backbones.
Quick Tip: Ensure you are utilizing L3 Hardware Offloading on your CRS3xx and CRS5xx series switches. Without it, your CPU becomes the bottleneck. With it, you're routing at wire speed.
The Workflow:
1. Check /interface/ethernet/switch to ensure offloading is active.
2. Optimize your OSPF areas to reduce SPF calculation overhead.
3. Watch your throughput soar.
What’s the highest throughput you’ve pushed through a MikroTik core lately? Let’s talk numbers in the comments.
