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.
Running on 6.48 and 6.49 here (without route reflectors). This has its
own issues though, in particular that IPv6 doesn't do recursive route
lookups, so you need to add static routes to make BGP next-hops reachable.
If I were in your position, I think I would run standalone software
route reflectors: BIRD has a good reputation, and is widely deployed as
a route server at exchange points.
Dropping iBGP entirely from your core sounds like a recipe for trouble.
