Full table import is 2-5minutes. Route table lookups, depends. If you are going for an actual route entry i.e. 1.2.3.0/24, it can be very quick, or even 'All routes in 1.2.0.0/18' for instance and list anything within that route. If you want to do show me best route for 1.2.3.4, its still

Hey Cameron, How long does it take to load full tables and also how do you find the speed of doing routing table lookups from the CLI? Last time we investigated this, both of the above were painfully slow when taking full tables. -Brad From: AusNOG [mailto:ausnog-boun...@lists.ausnog.net]

Hi Darren, We use the CCR1072's with VRRP and have not skipped a beat in the last 372 days they have been online & installed. We also run BGP + OSPF on both devices without issue holding 600,000+ routes. Cheers Cameron On Tue, Jun 26, 2018 at 11:58 AM Darren Moss wrote: > Hi All, > > > > We

Hi All, We are about to deploy a new location, which we normally do with our SOE around Cisco router kit (2 of them for redundancy). I was talking with another DC customer and they swear by Mikrotik router gear over Cisco. I've played with Mikrotik in a domestic/home fibre connection
