Working with MikroTik and IP Infusion’s OcNOS to interop EVPN/VxLAN has been on my wish list for a long time.

When learning how to use OSPF with MikroTik, it can sometimes be difficult to understand how the different LSA types flow between areas.

When troubleshooting OSPF in MikroTik, it’s often helpful to look at the LSAs to determine the root cause of an issue.

MikroTik Routers and Wireless – Software RouterOS continues to mature as we move through the versions in the teens.

Overview This is an article i’ve wanted to write for a long time.

PDF link is here A reference guide for new & existing ISPs that need to understand network functions and separation.

Overview Routing filters have been a hot topic lately in the world of RouterOSv7.

If you don’t already use it, the MIkroTik v7 BETA forum (forum.mikrotik.com) is a fantastic source of information When will stable be released?

About the Juniper to MikroTik series In the world of network engineering, learning a new syntax for a NOS can be daunting if you need a specific config quickly.

If you missed it, take a look at MikroTik’s video on RouterOS v7 routing performance and changes.

VxLAN support added in 7.0beta5 MikroTik announced VxLAN support on Valentine’s Day (Feb 14th) of 2020.

Juniper to MikroTik – a new series Previously, I’ve written a number of articles that compared syntax between Cisco and MikroTik and have received some great feedback on them.

About the Cisco to MikroTik series One of the most difficult configuration challenges for MikroTik equipment seems to be switching and VLANs in the CRS series.

The challenge of adding IPv6 to your WISP IPv6 is one of those technologies that can feel pretty overwhelming, but it doesn’t have to be.

Use Case ISPs that use MikroTik are always looking for new ways to deliver services to customers and expand their offerings.

Moving away from incumbent network vendors One of the challenges service providers have faced in the last decade is lowering the cost per port or per MB while maintaining the same level of availability and service level.

We have a Facebook group!

Introduction One challenge that every WISP owner or operator has faced is how to leverage unused bandwidth on a backup path to generate more revenue.

About the Cisco to MikroTik series One of the hardest things to do quickly in network engineering, is learn a new syntax for a NOS.

What is VPLS?

In the world of network engineering, learning a new syntax for a NOS can be overwhelming if you need a specific set of config in a short timeframe.

Back to Silicon Valley!

The role of whitebox in a WISP/FISP MPLS core Whitebox, if you aren’t familiar with it, is the idea of separating the network operating system and switching hardware into commodity elements that can be purchased separately.

One of the latest designs I have been working on is using eBGP and an OSPF transit fabric to provide traffic engineering and load balancing.

What is whitebox networking and why is it important?

In another life, not too long ago, I spent a number of years in civilian and military law enforcement.

So photos have been leaked (we can’t say from where exactly) for the newest experimental router from MikroTik.

Recently, I was fortunate enough to be invited by Brian Horn with WISPA.org to teach a session at WISP America 2016 in Lousiville, KY.
