Most of the major features of RouterOS are not "Linux" native apps anymore. Back in v2.9 this was the case, i.e. the Proxy server was SQUID, OSPF was again, the same way using a Linux app. However, especially in v3, and 4, as well as now v5, MikroTik has really made their own system. Not wishing to go into, what is better, the key here is that they have a super small footprint, and their hardware (for the cost) can't be beat. A sub 20-40 meg MPLS router with 5 ports for $40 USD. . 7200VXR replacements for under 1500. Other than they primary focus on Ethernet/Fiber/Wireless hardware, virtually no Legacy WAN interfaces anymore. ----------------------------------------------------------- Dennis Burgess, CCNA, Mikrotik Certified Trainer, MTCNA, MTCRE, MTCWE, MTCTCE, MTCUME Link Technologies, Inc -- Mikrotik & WISP Support Services Office: 314-735-0270 Website: http://www.linktechs.net LIVE On-Line Mikrotik Training - Author of "Learn RouterOS" -----Original Message----- From: James Jones [mailto:james () freedomnet co nz] Sent: Monday, April 12, 2010 3:07 PM To: nanog () nanog org Subject: Re: Mikrotik RouterOS kind of....routerOS supports MPLS, linux does not On 4/12/10 3:48 PM, Grzegorz Janoszka wrote:
