One of the biggest changes in OSPF for both version 2 (IPv4) and version 3 (IPv6) is the consolidation of menus into a single location for OSPF configuration. ROS Version: 7.1beta2 (7.1beta3 was released just before I published this – at some point i’ll update with testing on beta3) Prior to 7.1beta2, this has been nonfunctional for years due to routing recursion limitations.įor the most up to date information about features and capabilities in v7, MikroTik created a page that tracks feature status across the different beta releases Using a lab based on EVE-NG, we’ll take a look at configuration changes and iBGP using the IPv6 AFI with OSPFv3 as the IGP for loopback/next hop reachability. The new routing stack also paves the way to add a number of features that have been needed for a long time like RPKI and large community support. The ability to use MikroTik’s new generation of CCR routers with ARM64 to quickly process BGP routes is a blog post all to itself and we’ll tackle that in the future – however, the information below provides a quick look into the performance comparison between ROS v6 and v7.
The new routing stack in v7 has created quite a buzz in the MikroTik community as lab tests have shown that it’s significantly more efficient in processing large numbers of BGP routes. One of the long awaited benefits of RouterOS version 7 is a new routing protocol stack that enables new capabilities and fixes limitations in RouterOSv6 caused by the use of a very old Linux kernel.
