Hi Yes they are responsive on issues they can fix easily. I got told there are numerous BGP bugs but no timeline, and considering BGP improvement was one of RoS 7 selling points I find the lack of resolution a little odd. But perhaps not many of us are using route reflectors.
Same as yourself though, v7.5 at the edge has been ok including BGP.

(‘Please upgrade’) We have moved edges over to 7.5 which is working well but we are not route reflecting. For anyone thinking about ROS7 the main gotcha for us was (permanently) missing aggregate statement and also permanently missing as-path-prepend Leo On Wed, 2 Nov 2022 at 11:14, Paul Bone <[email protected]> wrote: I am probably not the only one with a love/hate relationship with Mikrotik, sometimes it amazes me what you can do, but has anyone else been unfortunate enough to deploy a Mikrotik RoS7 BGP Route Reflector network? I have had an issue for nearly a year now with stale BGP routes stuck in a loop between two route reflectors and can only over ride them with static routes which defeats the object of using routing protocols. I get the usual arrogant response from Mikrotik, with no time lines. If only I had the budget to replace it with a different vendor. This is small ISP network and I am seriously considering changing over to OSPF only in the core network – just makes route manipulation a little trickier.
