[AusNOG Classifieds] Mikrotik 10GB CCRs

[Skeeve Stevens]

Not hating just for the fun of it.  It is junk and only Netgear and Dlink
are worse.

I am involved in multiple networks at the moment where the Mikrotik is
causing problems and we're slowly removing them.  The worst is their junk
hardware... failing units, leaking or exploding capacitors, bad throughput,
minimal interoperability testing, etc etc etc.

People who love to build stuff themselves or are doing things with no
budget will always love things like Mikrotik. *But* no matter what anyone
says, it is NOT enterprise grade.

I do see practical applications for it... Labs, small SME environments,
remote PoPs with minimal users (and value) or in developing countries who
can't afford anything else.

I am having my netops guys being trained on Mikrotik at the moment for some
of the above purposes/reasons... but I would never, *ever* recommend
someone put it in their core network or on any critical parts of their
infrastructure.

Loving or hating Mikrotik is like a religious discussion.... but for me it
comes down to right tool, right job.
