Anyone tried it? I’m planning but saw the benchmark is pretty bad. Unsure if I interpret correctly.
My use of Mikrotik is somewhat limited, but I’m testing I’ve found routing between VLANs to be pretty performant. The key is to offload that routing to the hardware, which not all configurations allow. Check out the Network Berg’s YouTube channel and you should get a good idea.
it depends which device you get. Some routers are much better then others at routing. i think you want to look at the CCR series.
I have known several ISP in Australia who use them as core routers so depends how you spec them.
If you want gigabit throughput don’t get a hEX look at the CCR range. If you need less than 100Mb go for a hEX.
From my memory anything that can offload VLANs to hardware is preferred. Pretty much means anything with a switching chip.
I think my RB 5009 can offload VLANs but are exempt from packet inspection.
