It replaced an Atom based Mikrotik. Router also does some basic firewalling and etc. Updated too latest Mikrotik release(6.19) week ago on it. Not really having any issues with it. BGP does seem to be single threaded so one CPU is maxed out frequently. Also have couple CCR's running 6.17 and terminating large number of PPPoE users. Have had issues with them but not for while. Not sure which release fixed it. Plan on updating them to latest Mikrotik release some evening just have not gotten around too it. I just don't think I would want to do BGP and PPPoE on same box myself.
