In addition to EVPN being added in #MikroTik ROS 7.20, there are a couple other notable additions to BGP that quietly slipped into the release. - BGP instances - BGP advertise IPv4 prefix with IPv6 nexthop (RFC5549,RFC8950) help.mikrotik.com/docs/spaces/...

#MikroTik recently migrated forum.mikrotik.com to a new platform based on discourse to replace the older phpbb software. I was resistant to it at first even though I love dark mode, but it's growing on me :) What's your opinion on the new forums?

#MikroTik 7.20beta4 is out. Lots of work on EVPN. mikrotik.com/download

A great overview of what's new in #MikroTik RouterOS 7.19 tiktube.com/w/xvMuLqJLot...

Current prefix range distribution for IPv6 (21-May-2025)

👀 help.mikrotik.com/docs/spaces/...

I see 225739 IPv6 prefixes. This is 151 more prefixes than 6 hours ago and 1448 more than a week ago. 46.03% of prefixes are /48.

Interesting discussion on how to enable hardware offload of a full IPv4 table on a MikroTik CCR2216 even though the ASIC doesn't technically have enough space. For simpler 100G edge router use cases, it's hard to beat a $2k peering router w/ an ASIC forum.mikrotik.com/viewtopic.ph...

Did you know there is a #mikrotik Lemmy instance? https://lemm.ee/c/[email protected]

Let's keep exploring our latest innovation: the ROSE Data server. This time - a deeper dive with the one and only Brett from RaidOwl! :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LGAwubEU92A

#MikroTik RouterOS 7.18 released as stable today. mikrotik.com/download/cha...

#MikroTik is getting into the compute/storage game by combining a router/l3switch w/ storage/container capabilities. With the progress they've made in VxLAN & the upcoming work on EVPN, this could be a great platform to converge networking & storage. What do you think? youtu.be/g1wpIIfYpZA?...

EVPN Support coming for #MikroTik!!! Now that MikroTik has publicly committed to EVPN, SR-MPLS won't be far behind along with hw-offload of VPLS & L2VPN Imagine a ~$400ish box new w/ multiple 10G ports that runs dual stack BGP, IS-IS, EVPN, VxLAN & LDP/SR MPLS forum.mikrotik.com/viewtopic.ph...

And just like that: TikTok is coming back... x.com/TikTokPolicy...

BGP security requirements in yesterday's Executive Order task Federal Civilian Executive Branch (FCEB) agencies to: 1. Ensure all of their IP space are covered by an RIR (ARIN) 2. Create ROAs for IP space 3. Require contracted ISPs to reject RPKI-invalids. www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-roo...

The "IT Hero" is definitely a personality type that can wreck a team. Everyone loves to save the day from time to time but some people make a career of it 😬

Happy New Year to those who are already living in the future and Happy #NYE24 to those who are still counting down. Thanks to #MikroTik for all your hard work this year improving ROSv7, making the next gen Winbox and building some great new hardware.

All changes to the network are set for 11:59 PM so that we can blame last year.

Had a great time recording this with the @artofneteng.bsky.social crew and @ehorley.bsky.social Thanks for having me on the podcast! #IPv6 all the things!

Devastated and Disconnected Island Communities On Dec 14, French overseas territory #Mayotte was hit by a devastating cyclone killing thousands. On Dec 17, a 7.3-mag earthquake hit Pacific island nation of #Vanuatu. Rescuers are searching for survivors.

The phrase “enterprise grade” has always been rather loosely defined for networking kit. Large enterprises are shifting toward IaaS and data centres. Small and medium enterprises are shifting towards SaaS and rack hosting. The on-premises network is simplifying as a result. 1/2 #NetEng
