I have a network with 140 or so OSPF routers, around 1k routes without issues. Its not the number of routes, nor the qty of routers, its how much breaks talk etc. The network is very reliable and static for the most part, so OSPF don’t chatter too much at all.

Having said that, and as someone else mentioned I believe, folks often feel that OSFP can’t “scale” at all and begin feeling somewhat “forced” into OSPF for LB/P2P and iBGP for routes as soon as they get 10,20,30 routers in their network and perhaps a couple of hundred subnets. This is simply not typical and OSPF can be much larger in scale before performance is impacted significantly From: Af [mailto:af-boun...@afmug.com] On Behalf Of Jesse DuPont Sent: August 26, 2016 12:04 AM To: af@afmug.com<mailto:af@afmug.com> Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Mikrotik OSPF weirdness Right, PTP and loopback prefixes are distributed with OSPF (and possibly management subnets for radios) and "access" network prefixes (customer-facing) are distributed via iBGP. I have two of my routers configured as BGP route reflectors and all other routers peer with only these two; this solves the full mesh and provides redundancy.
