Re: Low Cost 10G Router

I've seen serious, unusual performance bottlenecks in Mikrotik CCR, in some cases not even achieving a gigabit speeds on 10G interfaces. Performance drops more rapidly then Cisco with smaller packet sizes.

Folks often forget that Mikrotik ROS can also run on x86 machines..... Size your favorite hardware (server) or network appliance with appropriate ports, add MT ROS on a CF card, and you are good to go. We use i7 based network appliance with dual 10g cards (you can use a quad 10g card, such as those made by hotlav). with a 2gig of ram, you can easily do multiple (4-5 or more full bgp peers), and i7 are good for approx 1.2mill pps.
