[AusNOG] 10G routing

[Michael Marklew]

1:09 am and my Cloud Core (CCR1036-12G-4S) was taken down by a 250Mbps plus DDOS to an end user. Now it is non-resposnive and I have to make a weekend trip into the data centre.

I put it in front of my Cisco 7200 series only a few weeks ago so I could do some QoS on my main feed. It has been working well and I have been patting myself on the back because I saved $20k on the appropriate Allott Net Enforcer or some such.

My backup BGP path is via another 7200 and other then being very slow it managed when the traffic switched.

So it would appear the CCR1036-12G-4S has less routing power then an old Cisco 7200 VXR, although the Mikrotik was doing some rate limiting and fire walling (to block DDOS) for that matter.

I love the Mikrotik gear, I love it's price and I love it's flexibility. Shame. Now to decide if I should put a managed power rain in so I can reboot it remotely or just get rid of it.

Kind Regards,
Michael.
