Actually that is a good point. I do not believe MT has Multi-processor
support, unless it was added recently.

One question I really would love to hear the answer to..
What version of 3.x are you using (if any) on those multi core/processor
Mikrotiks?

I didn't want to hijack Travis's Cisco thread, but wanted to throw in my
.02
regarding MikroTik as a core router.
We began running MikroTik as a core router sometime back in 2004 when our
Cisco VXR DS3 router started to struggle. We purchased a couple LMC DS3
NICs from Eje at Wisp-Router and haven't looked back since.
It was better than three years ago when we bench tested more than 800Mbps
between MikroTik routers using older Intel Pro fiber NICs and standard
32bit
PCI slots. Over the years we have deployed numerous MikroTik routers
with
24 or more 10/100 Interfaces, and several MikroTik routers with multiple
Intel GigE Copper and Fiber Interfaces.
Today our MikroTik routers have evolved to include motherboards with
multiple PCIe x8 x16 lane expansion slots, Quad core CPUs, 2Gig RAM,
redundant hot-swap power supplies and multiple six port SFP NICs. This
latest generation of MikroTik router we are deploying are extremely fast,
flexible, cost effective and most importantly reliable.
The SFP NICs allow us to easily swap Interfaces from Copper GigE to SX
fiber, LX fiber, ZX Fiber...all hot-swap without requiring the router to
be
powered down or rebooted. The power supplies are diverse and redundant.
We
can lose either power feed or power module or any combination of the two
and
still keep the router powered up.
We are currently peering with three GigE upstream providers with a fourth
GigE provider being turned up this week for unprecedented capacity and
diversity for an ISP our size. We are already exploring and evaluating
10GigE Interfaces as our requirements continue to increase. We have no
reason to believe the MikroTik platform will not continue to deliver the
exceptional performance we have become accustomed to.
Every client gets a MikroTik CPE router that we own and manage regardless
of
the medium used (microwave, copper, fiber etc.) to deliver their data
circuit. A MikroTik as a client CPE router gives us terrific flexibility
and diagnostic abilities. MikroTik allows us to provide the detailed
information required to identify and resolve problems at the client side
quickly and efficiently. We have made countless IT Guys heroes in the
eyes of their employers more times than I care to remember. grin
I firmly believe we would not be where we are today, offering the level
of
service we are able to provide without MikroTik at the core of our
network.
Best,
Brad

I answer with a question. What makes you think they couldn't do 100
megs?
I believe the original PowerRouter series does 5.9 gigabits and the
latest series does 8 gigabits.
I don't know how strong Mikrotik's VPLS offering is, but from what I've
heard, VPLS is the way to go.

How can you possibly get 100 megs with Mikrotik?

You
should be able to do that with some high end MTs and EoIP Tunnels
though
