Hi,

Will an RB 1100 support the following?

1. 100 Mbps internet bandwidth
+
2. BGP - Advertising only. not full routing table processing
+
3. 50 queues

If not then will a PC with an Intel C2D proc and 2 Gig RAM support this?


Thanks,

Sudipta

RB 1100 will easily do the task.

Is anybody using this already? Has anybody tested this product?

Hello,

I have some questions related RB1100 performance.

It is ready to accommodate a full bgp table? Or do you know if somebody is using it as a route reflector?

We are planning to expand our core network for the interconnection to other providers and than we need to place a router for each provider interconnection, and more two to do route reflectors, but we are not sure about the performances.

Do you know if they are ready to this work? Or mikrotik is not a right choice?

Each router should have a single role. Routers interconnected to other provider should do only routing and three bgp sessions, one with the provider, two with the route reflector.

The two route reflectors should have more memory for the full routing table and sould do BGP session with every router in the area.

Other two routers will do the queues for the customers and bgp with r/r.

Every provider routers should not exceed 100 Megabits. Only the two customers router can aggregate not more than 500 Megs.

Do you think that this can be a solution? I think that splitting the routing load should solve some processor load problems... but i'm not sure that with rb1100 we can do everything.

I hope RB1100 is enough because with mikrotik we have a great control over the router, and the management and monitoring are very simple.

Please don't tell me i have to buy Cisco

I have a 1100 with 200 mb of traffic, 300 ospf routes, three filter rules blocking port 25. and nat, the rb 1100 was 100% processing. deactivated when the connection tracking, processing dropped to 40%. if you want something with high throughput and effective, we recommend using a dell server with mkt. I have here a 2 x opteron quad core 1.7 running mkt with bgp, ospf, eoip, nat, bandwidth control, and 200 mb of traffic, with maximum processing using 10%. really with it, who needs cisco? =).

Thank very much for wour answer. This is what i was finding.

Only another info...haw many packets are routed by the router in the screenshot?
