People who tested say they don't forward more than 500Mbps per port.

My real world experience with these is that they suck. Plain and simple.
Don't waste your time.

Hi,

looking at the specs of Mikrotik Cloud Core Routers it seems to be to
good
to be true [1] having so much bang for the bucks. So virtually all
smaller
ISPs would drop their CISCO gear for Mikrotik Routerboards.

We are using a handful of Mikrotik boxes, but on a much lower network
level (splitting networks; low end router behind ADSL modem, ...). We're
happy with them.

So I am asking for real life experience and not lab values with Mikrotik
Cloud Core Routers and BGP. How good can they handle full tables and a
bunch of peering sessions? How good does the box react when adding
filters
(during attacks)? Reloading the table? etc. etc.

I am looking for _real_ _life_ values compared to a CISCO NPE-G2. Please
tell me/us from your first hand experience.

Thanks!

greetings, Martin
