[AusNOG] NBN FTTP router recommendations 200MBps+

[Jonathan Brewer]

Hey team,

I've been running Mikrotik routers in real networks for fifteen years. The largest network I built using Mikrotik had around a thousand devices running RouterOS, all participating in a multi-area OSPF. There were other equipment vendors in the network too, but Mikrotik was dominant.

These days most of the ISPs I consult to in NZ (30+) have Mikrotik in their network. Several of them who use Mikrotik are getting close to 10 Gbps in peak hour traffic from residential subscribers. They may use Cisco or Juniper for their heavy lifting, but Mikrotik still plays a large role.

Chris you may not like Mikrotik but the feedback you left on the list isn't helpful for anyone.
