Hi Paul, Mikrotik RouterOS is pretty good we use it extensively on our network but there are many gottchas that you need to look out for, if you are using
multiple Full BGP tables an x86 based Rotuer is the onlygame in town, route Filters with BGP extended Communities is not that reliable so use explicit prefix filtering instead, Do not use the BGP-Out filter on the BGP instance (use Per Peer Route Filtering instead) for PE / CE setup ... lab up what you want to achieve... and keep a lab running when you are in production so that you can predict that a BAU change is infact a BAU change and not something that causes a reboot or a reset of your BGP sessions BFD doesnt work in version 6 that well... BGP signaled VPLS works quite well... RSVP-TE MPLS in our humble experience needs some more improvements OSPF (IPv4 is rock solid) On Mon, May 16, 2016 at 1:09 PM, Paul Bone <[email protected]> wrote: > Has anyone had experience using Mikrotik CCR as either CE or PE routers? > > > > I have been playing with transparent traffic shaping on one of the little > hAP units (not suggesting this as a CE!) and it seems to work well and the > OS has support for BGP, BFD and MPLS. > > > > We currently use Juniper SRX but the supposed throughput figures and cost > of the Mikrotik would be very attractive at the high commercial level. > > > > Best regards, Paul > > > > > > > -- Kindest regards, Tom Smyth Mobile: +353 87 6193172 --------------------------------- PLEASE CONSIDER THE ENVIRONMENT BEFORE YOU PRINT THIS E-MAIL This email contains information which may be confidential or privileged.
