I should have said it's 5 digits on top of having a Juniper router which
can accept the IP services card (eg MX240, MX480, or MX960). You'll be
into 6 digits before you have the whole BOM. Maybe I should have said
"Lamborghini money". Depends whether you already have the Juniper
router or if you had to start from square one.
I'm not saying there's anything wrong with Juniper, I'm just saying you
have to bring your checkbook if you want to do CG-NAT with them.

The good news is one box will scale to staggering amounts of traffic.

CGNAT on Juniper requires an IP services card. With licensing it's

....but that's kinda where we're at isn't it.

I was like no, not going to do that.
And then started removing 1072 connection tracking altogether from
my network.
For the time being I’m using 1036 for CGNAT as a transition, then
will head to CHR CGNAT, then Juniper.
I agree that Mikrotik just isn’t focused on the 1072 anymore and
this particular issue seems beyond them to repair.
Which makes the 1072 a no starter for anything conn track for us
ever again.
I’ve got one 2004 doing the CGNAT now, and it’s on latest Stable
release.
Watching to see if it bails too, or is capable of doing it for the
time being.
But our end game it MPLS/VPLS and/or direct switch VLAN type
segmentation of layer2 into our cores where we will do all of the
heavy lifting.

Still fighting with Mikrotik about the 1072 reboots. New hardware
didn't fix it, had several people check the configs all were good.
After 2 months of going back and forth, escalating to a higher tier
tech... I officially got a response that 1 million connections is
too much for the 1072 and I should expect it to reboot and not
function properly. That was their conclusion. Even though all of
the 72 processors are under 50%, memory usage is only about 20%
etc. Turn off connection tracking is the their solution.
How about those apples?
