Testing Mikrotik Routers
Bandwidth Testing
http://www.mikrotik.com/testdocs/ros/2.9/tools/btest.php
- TCP testing has TCP overhead
- About 10%
- UDP testing is closer to real maximum
- Set MTU to the maximum allowed by links
- Probably 1500+
- Don't test on a production router
- Unless you understand that network traffic and test results may be negatively impacted
- To test the real throughput of a router, you should run bandwidth test through it not from or to it
Server Side
View status:
/tool bandwidth-server print /tool bandwidth-server session print
To enable bandwidth-test server without client authentication:
/tool bandwidth-server set enabled=yes authenticate=no
Client Side
An example to run a 15-second bandwidth-test:
- To a router (server) at 10.0.0.211
- Sending and receiving 1000-byte UDP packets
- Using username admin to connect
/tool bandwidth-test 10.0.0.211 duration=15s direction=both size=1000 protocol=udp user=admin
