Well that's certainly interesting.
You will not see me sticking up for MikroTik's documentation, ever. I
don't think the table reflects the reality of ROS 7, there's even a
note that "Routed traffic does not work to odd address" in one
version. I know that to be false, because, well, I do this in
production, and I suspect I would have noticed if the niche
functionality of "routing" suddenly stopped working.

Maybe this document refers to the literal configuration of a /31. But
I always configure them as point to points, as I mentioned before. But
there again, in the documentation, that ability is totally missing...
great.
