Hi,
looking at the specs of Mikrotik Cloud Core Routers it seems to be to good =
to be true [1] having so much bang for the bucks. So virtually all smaller =
ISPs would drop their CISCO gear for Mikrotik Routerboards.
We are using a handful of Mikrotik boxes, but on a much lower network level=
(splitting networks; low end router behind ADSL modem, ...). We're happy w=
ith them.
So I am asking for real life experience and not lab values with Mikrotik Cl=
oud Core Routers and BGP. How good can they handle full tables and a bunch =
of peering sessions? How good does the box react when adding filters (durin=
g attacks)? Reloading the table? etc. etc.
I am looking for _real_ _life_ values compared to a CISCO NPE-G2. Please te=
ll me/us from your first hand experience.
Thanks!
greetings, Martin
[1] If something sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
