Feature Request : BGP Route Table
Posted: Thu Jul 23, 2009 9:28 am
Currently I'm working with 3 upstream admins to build a new BGP network. They use Cisco and Juniper to do BGP. And I use a single RB1000 to do peering with them.
And they are surprise how I can do filtering for peering very quick using winbox.
I still remember their face when I set nexthop out address in 15 second where they need about 1-2 minutes to setup the same thing on Cisco or Juniper
:D
The point is I love using Mikrotik to do BGP
But there is only one thing that I very concern. Mikrotik does not have BGP route table.
With 3 upstreams and accepting full route from them, sometime I need to know, why my network choose one of the upstream rather than other upstream to reach some network.
I can not do "show ip bgp neighbors xxx received-routes" like Cisco way for each peer.
I only able to see the best path on main routing table.
I know it will consume a lot of resource, but if this feature added on next ROS release, I'm sure it will be great for BGP lover. And for me, with this additional feature, I do not see any reason to not choose mikrotik as my BGP router.
Thank you
