BETA Testing and Feature Suggestions for next routeros

RouterOS General
1

2.10 :smiley: some ETA? perhaps a year?

2

sooner. really sooner. q3 2006 maybe

3

Sorry for bad English, but whats is q3 2006 ?

4

OSPF Route/Prefix Filtering (my apologies if this is in routing-test already)

I hope they will include support for Intel motherboard temp readings :slight_smile:
that will be nice.

Q3 2006 means the third quarter of 2006 – hope that’s right!

More diagnostic info is always useful. The SNR figures in wireless-test are great, should we expect to see that migrated to 2.10 stable? How about some details on how you measure noise? I can guess, but it would be helpful to know what is actually being measured so we can guess what noise sources it’s going to be useful to identify (mainly, is it responsive to noise on channel only, or on adjacent channels too, which would cause some degradation to on-channel performance)?

IPV6 - Pure and Dual Stack Options

8

I’d like to see more commands for filtering a printout on the cli, *nix has grep, cisco has | include, mikrotik has no good cli for this. If you do a /ip route print, you can have pages of routes, and no way to sort or grep them easily.

9

“Small nmap port” or simular features ?

10

And live radio stations support :smiley:

Little joking wont hurt anyone I hope :wink:

11

Antenna diversity!!

12

regular expression support for match content at ip filter

13

why? it is packet content, if you don’t know what exactly you are looking for, better not use it. it would be dead slow. this is not for offensive website filtering.

14

Those possible performance problems would be the reason for me to NOT include this - at least in my network setups. RegEx-ing every packets’ contents will be a REAL performance killer.
And in my opinion that’s something rather not to be done on a router. Ok, RouterOS is evolving more and more into a more generic system and DOES offer content inspection capabilities - but I think that would take it too far.

Just my 2 (Euro) Cent…

Well just a fast thought. Other vendors support classifying traffic on application layer based on regular expr eg. classify a specific http url like /html/bin/business and /html/flashgame and give more priority to first than second. Or classify traffice based on MIME types or you can even match a virus/worm etc. with this feature and route it to a blackhole.

16

I found something on the net about application level marking:


Router(config)# class-map match-all http_transact

Router(config-cmap)# match protocol http url “/transact/*”

or

Router(config)# class-map match-any audio_video

Router(config-cmap)# match protocol http mime “audio/*”

Router(config-cmap)# match protocol http mime “video/*”


or

Router(config)# class-map match-any web_images

Router(config-cmap)# match protocol http url “*.gif”

Router(config-cmap)# match protocol http url “.jpg|.jpeg”

or if you want to block a worm

Router(config)#class-map match-any http-hacks
Router(config-cmap)#match protocol http url “default.ida”
Router(config-cmap)#match protocol http url “cmd.exe”
Router(config-cmap)#match protocol http url “root.exe”



and then you apply policies to these classes. I hope MT will at least look into it.

I need support for Mobile Telemetry standard EN 300 674 -2-1 on the 5795-5805 Ghz in sweden. with 5 Mhz chanels. then i can use 2 Watt :slight_smile: EiRP.

And full support for Hiperlan 2 standard ETS 300 836-1 5.4-5.7 Ghz 1 Watt EiRP, With DFS and TP working :slight_smile:.

2.10.02
2.10.03
2.10.04
…
2.10.10

Stable BGP
routing-test completion and integration into standard routing

Standard intel mobo fan, temp, power monitoring

19

My wishlist (it’s two years old):

  1. SMP support
  2. lm_sensors
  3. ttl match in /ip firewall
  4. l7-filter
  5. Script actions OnConnect and OnDisconnect in /ppp profile
  6. :include directive in scripts
  7. :fetch (to download a new version of some :include file via http :slight_smile: )
  8. add tx-signal-strenght in /interface wireless registration-table print oid
  9. Full Changelog :slight_smile:

there are more things but I cann’t remember then now

  • Configuration syncnig between routers :slight_smile: Places where this would be usefull for example, VRRP.
  • Configurable ARP Timeouts (Excuse me if I haven’t seen it in older versions yet)
