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.
Indeed for doing BGP on internet you need such a router.
To do BGP on AMPRnet (i.e. internal routes only) the RB750Gr3 is good enough.
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).
This is what we do at our gateway as well. The ISP advertises our network and routes the
traffic to our system.
If you want to launch a traceroute from public
Internet, just to demonstrate above setup, you can use 44.133.233.8
It does not answer to us. First hop is 88.26.246.131 via IPIP tunnel.
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.
Remember the suggestion was not the RB750 but the RB750Gr3.
This is an entirely different thing. It is more powerful than the RB2011.
(but has less ports of course)
