VMXNET3 is only supported in the "Cloud Hosted Router" version,
which currently isn't suitable for production use (limited to
1Mbps). VMXNET3 (and the other virtualisation drivers) are *NOT*
included in the standard x86 version, and probably never will be.<br>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:12.0pt">Mikrotik's
have been discussed for a while - plenty are using at the
edge, some are using at the core. I personally use
CCR1036-8G-2Splus at my core, which use the same CPU
architecture as the 1072 just less cores, and different
interface options.<br>
<br>
I haven't had much issue with them, but I also pick and choose
my software releases, and don't configure new (or unused)
features on production to avoid bugs.<br>
<br>
I run 2 with as much active-active and failover redundancy as
I can, and the cost of the 2 ($3k~) still far cheaper than a
couple of Cisco routers for my networks ~500mbit / 200kpps
throughput. (1 router is currently doing most of that work
sitting at 10-15% CPU with conntracking + firewall mangle
rules + about 10 simple queues)<br>
<br>
The biggest problem is multi-threaded use for some of the
important processes in them, BGP being the main one, and
single TCP stream being the other. They each seem to be
limited to a single core at a time so importing full tables
and updates/withdraws can take a bit to propagate in the route
table. TCP single stream only seems to be able to get to
1gbps, again seems to be a single core restriction.<br>
<br>
ROSv7 is meant to fix a lot of this but still in alpha stage,
no public betas even heard of yet.<o:p></o:p></p>
