but dat "accelerations" severely compromise security. its improve things bout 5x-12x times on most modern (AES-NI aware) x86 chips but at that cost ... Can you be more specific, please? What cost? Why exactly using AES-NI instructions is less secure than doing the same math using "tr...

Re: requesting driver for onboard atheros gigabit LAN

not to offend anyone(if someone feel this way), but its sometimes simpler replace NIC. frankly-speaking(i saw some of on ASUS boards for example)such branded NIC - aren't well-made, had obsolete drivers(latest was Vista driver. they released Win7 drivers later(which isn't really good either). and up...

Re: Newsletter 71

AC would be more important than gigabit, so the access-points can be set to only-AC, and not A/N/AC. its time to consider to be ready for AX i think. which mean shift from 2x core to 4x core SoC within even low-end stations and routers. even low-freq ARM(coolest option was ARM A35 4x chips. A32 had...

Re: Feature Request : DSCP on DHCP packets

I would suggest that, at the same time that you try to convince MikroTik that they should support this DSCP setting, you try to convince your ISP that they should not perform needless checking. Fine if they give out modems that send DHCP at higher priority, but why would you check in the server tha...

no. its not. despite NSA PR about. its not works this way and ASIC can't do that. not That "size" of logic behind AES-NI in x86 chips ;) (would be 1/3 of whole CPU ~ or around :) its achieved by purposely compromising/crippling math behind cipher in several "hot spots of code", t...

Re: how about bigger Jumbo frames, btw ?

you intentionally missed whole point of usage/purpose of Jumbo frames, then. No to the contrary, I think you are missing the whole point, because you suggest jumboframe capability in MikroTik equipment. But I won't reply anymore, I don't want to start a fight, I just think it is not useful outside ...

Re: Feature Request : CoS on DHCP packets

generally its much better to make ISP respect standards instead.
relying on 802.1x-2010 instead, for example(and MacSec, PortSec and other stuff in it), instead.

Re: Integrate WAN Optimization based on SoloWAN

With userspace I meant that there is no kernel patching needed as the mikrotik kernel is heavily modified so that would be tricky to apply. A user space program with only a few dependencies should be much easier to integrate. ;-) you can use "meta-router" or "OpenFlow" features ...
