[AusNOG] Mikrotik routers in HA environments

[Joseph Goldman]

Full table import is 2-5minutes.

Route table lookups, depends. If you are going for an actual route entry 
i.e. 1.2.3.0/24, it can be very quick, or even 'All routes in 
1.2.0.0/18' for instance and list anything within that route.

If you want to do show me best route for 1.2.3.4, its still very slow 
(to the point I dont use it in troubleshooting personally, just start at 
the /16 and filter down myself with the quicker lookups)

These are things reported to be better in the infamous RouterOS v7 
(Coming Soon(tm))
