On your CHR, perform a btest to 127.0.0.1ġ27.0.0.1 is a local interface on the CHR server.

perfomance tests for CHR working on vmware. I use Intel Xeon CPUs running at 3-GHz or faster on my VmWare ESXi servers to get my CHRs to run their fastest. With Hyper-Threading disabled in your BIOS, the total of all virtual machine CPUs added up together ( TOTAL assigned CPUs ) should be at a minimum of one less than your physical cores. Hyper-Threading makes a CPU appear as if it has 2x more cores at the expense of each core running a little slower. If you have more than one VmWare ESXi server, you might want to consider setting delayed_ack = 1 On your CHRs are you running the P unlimited license ? You might want to check some of your configurations: When I perform a Mikrotik CHR btest between my CHRs from one VmWare ESXi server to a different VmWare ESXi server across the 10-Gig physical network, I am always able to hit near 10-GIg with my btest(s). I have several VmWare ESXi ( with physical 10-Gig network interfaces ) servers running several Mikrotik CHR routers ( with vmxnet3 network interfaces ).


I don't see cpu bottleneck (no CHR cores with 100% usage) but when traffic is getting to 5gbps I see huge traffic drops down to 100-200mbit/s every 2-3sec. I use 8 core CHR ver 7.6-7.8 with vmxnet3 network cards at esxi 7. Is it any perfomance tests for CHR working on vmware? I am trying to get 10gbps with simple routing + nat load balancing (per connection classifier feature) and I cannot get more than 5gbps.
