Mikrotik Download Limited

Question

I have a Mikrotik routerboard RB2011UiAS.

I have an issue that when downloading we only get between 10mbit (1000pps) - 13mbit(1200pps) when connecting directly into the ISP provide with the Mikrotik.

If I put a hp procurve switch between the Mikrotik and ISP provider we get the full 100mbit download, how ever without we only get 10mbit - 13mbit.

Are they any settings or issue with the Mikrotik connecting directly with the ISP?

pps is a very different beast than mbit, as packet size can vary significantly. That said, are you sure the mikrotik is connecting at full duplex when it's directly conencted? — NickW, Apr 10 '14 at 10:50
Yes, they are gigabit ports. The ISP equipment is only 100mbit. — Oliver, Apr 10 '14 at 11:14
What protocol do you use to connect to the ISP, PPP of some sort? — NickW, Apr 10 '14 at 11:18

This might be a ROS bug (what version are you running). Have you tried creating a supout file and involving 'tik support?

As NickW points out this seems like a port negotiation issue.
Putting the Procurve between them certainly goes a long way towards pointing that.

Also, RB2011 has 5 Gbit and 5 10/100 ports. Any change in behavior if you move the WAN port to other ports either on the Gbit half (ie 2-5) or over to the 10/100 side (6-10)?
