MetaRouter performance/througput another ROS ?
1st - I am new to Mikrotik Metrarouter (I just built my first on).
Question:
- If I use something like a Mikrotik RouterBOARD 952Ui-5ac2nD
- If the hosting Mikrotik is only hosting a second MetaRouter (another ROS)
- Where the hosting Mikrotik has no work load - other than a management IP address and some bridges for the hosted MetaRouter ROS
- Where the hosted second MetaRouter image is performing NAT (Live IP to customer NAT network - and a DHCP server and DHCP client)
What kind of throughput should I expect ?
If the only real work the physical Mikrotik is performing is running a single MetaRouter ROS image, will the hosted MetaRouter ROS perform around 80 percent as fast as the physical Mikrotik ?
What I am considering is the following:
Something like a RouterBOARD 952Ui-5ac2nD with a Mikrotik SFP GPON module - and a private management vlan IP address for management
Where this acts like a type of SubH Out-Of-Band-Management
Where the MetaRouter hosted ROS is a full NAT device for a residential home network (NAT - WAN is DHCP client - LAN is a dhcp server.
How reliable is something like this?
Is there much of a performance hit when doing this?
EDIT: another question
How well do 2 to 4 MetraRouter images work running all at the same time? Lets say I have Fiber *1-Gig or GPON) to the Mikrotik and I have a multi-dwelling customer location (2 or 4 homes). Where each dwelling is running their own MetrRouter hosted ROS or MetaRouter hosted OpenWRT image (DHCP client - NAT - DHCP server for each home). Where I have only a single physical Mikrotik hosting 4 MetaRouter virtual customer home networks.
