Guess I should chime in here. As far as the CCR, I know several =
customers running in excess of 1 gig of traffic though them, one has 16 =
BGP sessions, several of those are full tables, and the rest are on an =
peering exchange. There are other units, like the ones we supply, that =
does more than 20 gig in real word usages. They are very capable =
devices, but depending on how many features you enable, of course that =
will affect their overall abilities. This would be real word, and =
yes, I work with 1000's of ISPs across North America, many between =
100-10gig of traffic, cable companies, DSL providers, and WISPs, and =
many of these ONLY use MikroTik. =20
As another person said, grab two and configure so that you split your =
load up, we have done that in areas where redundancy is important. =
Seeing the Dual 10GigE model with 8 GigE ports costs $1,249 or so, hard =
to beat them in price, and add two or more to get your redundancy. =20

People who tested say they don't forward more than 500Mbps per port.
