Actually, I think the 1106 is an excellent needed product. (There is a more expensive 10port Dual 2.9Ghz product for those needing more ports.)
The reason is that there are many applications where 6 ports is plenty, more for customer side router. Where just a lot of processing power is needed to get full speed from the links. For example, I can use an example of a router used for auto Failover or load balancing for dual High capacity links. The enterprise doesn't care about a few 100 dollars, and whats lots of processing overhead, so they feel safe using any OS features without risk of performance degregation. Dual Core atoms is a good match for 6 lightly used Gig ports. And it allows a more affordable solution for those lower port density applications. Personally for systems with high port density, I recommend higher proc power. You need almost 3Ghz of Proc to get the full capacity out of a single Gigport (In and Out). It may seem like Dualcore 1.6g atoms is a lot, but not really for using many Gig ports at full capacity. We have routers that we load up with 16 Gig ports, but we'll generally put in a Quad 2.4G-3Ghz Procs minimum. And have upgradabilty to Dual Quad for when the router some day starts to become loaded heavy. (Disclaimer- Comments above are generalized, and I recognize many factor in mainboard effect throughput, as well as software enhancements, and packet size we're talking about) Tom DeReggi RapidDSL & Wireless, Inc IntAirNet- Fixed Wireless Broadband ----- Original Message ----- From: Brad Belton To: 'WISPA General List' Sent: Friday, January 21, 2011 10:12 AM Subject: Re: [WISPA] [WISPA Announcements] Baltic Networks introduced a newlow-cost 6 Port Gigabit Router Powered by MikroTik at theAnimal Farm Expo in Salt Lake City, Utah Nice to see products like this developing and being made available, but it still misses the mark by not including SFP ports. Also, the GigE port count is far too few. Six? Need more like 24 or 48 ports! <grin> USB ports are great to see on this router! Good job there and what IMO should be mandatory on all HUB site or core based routers.

RouterMaxx 1106T runs on the MikroTik RouterOS platform and by combining it with the latest Intel technology, it is the next-generation commercial-grade gigabit router. Based on the latest Intel 82574L Gigabit Chipset and utilizing 6 independent Intel gigabit controllers and a multi-core CPU, it's possible to achieve over 200,000pps. The product provides performance up to 3 times faster than MikroTik's flagship product, the RB/1100. RouterMaxx 1106T competes directly with MikroTik RB/1100, Cisco and LinkTech PowerRouterT. Brian Vargyas, Managing Director at Baltic Networks, said: "We felt that there was a need to bring in the next generation gigabit router to the market, given that the existing products on the market are all based on the technology that is either out of date or not providing enough port power for commercial-grade applications. Teaming up with MikroTik and MaxxWave, this next product represents a further step ahead in Baltic Networks' strategy, aimed at providing low-cost and ready-to-deploy solutions."
