Large MDU Routing

We're going to be deploying WIFI in a large MDU, approx 300 units. We'll be doing WIFI with a separate VLAN per unit.

We'd like to do a CGNAT setup. What are some best practices to make this work as good as possible? We'll have one public IP for the building.

Re: Upgrade from 3.23 -> 3.28 Broke Routing

Here's was mikrotik support told me: Hello, We have changed behavior a bit. BGP Networks are not advertised if route for this network is not present in routing table. Easiest way how to get back old behavior (if you need it) is to add static unreachable route which matches BGP network. Regards, Maris

This is supported on some RouterBOARDs that have appropriate switch chips that support port mirroring. For example RB450G and RB750
Would it be possible for you to extend this feature to any kind of network interfaces using software instead of the hardware chips?
