We are putting a private PTP metro ethernet (fiber based) link between the two locations. And both locations will have one internet connection.
I am reading that Mikrotik has a memory leak in its BGP implementation. Any more info about this?

That depends on the netwoek in between this two locations. There could be a lot of good reasons why this is no good idea; please bring some light into this. Kind regards, Ingo Flaschberger
