Re: [44net] MikroTik Routers

Hi Marc, I don’t think there’s a minimal spec you should abide to in order to to put to work Net 44 on your site. In my case, where we run a BGP session with Internet and publish our assigned segment, we use a CCR1036 having in memory the full BGP routing table, but even so, this is not a compulsory requirement for you. In example, you can configure a less expensive router with only a default gateway to your ISP and/or to the ISP that runs the BGP session for you (if that would be the case). Our network design follows as a mere example of use (in ASCII art due to list restrictions): _( )_( )_ ( ) x.x.x.x/30 ( ) _( )_( )_(_) ( )_ (_INTERNET_)—( X ) -------------- ( X )-(_44.133.233.0/24 _) (_) (__) ( ) ( ) (_) (__) (__) (_) BGP Local bridged router router w/ firewall Both routers above are Mikrotik CCR1036 (CCR1036-8G-2S+EM) as mentioned before. If you want to launch a traceroute from public Internet, just to demonstrate above setup, you can use 44.133.233.8. Being said that, and nonetheless, I don’t think a Mikrotik RB750 is a good idea as it quite skimpy to have many things running at the same time. A Mikrotik RB2011 (no Wi-Fi) and above will be, for sue, very good platforms to play with. Hope this helps!

The memory and processor specs seem to very greatly. > Thanks in advance. > Marc (2W0PNT) >
