I need your real life - Hardware Recomendations for this
CCR2004-1G-2XS-PCIe

what we have some - old PC serwer (DELL) based router doing a 200-300 Mbps (but a lot of pps, when compare to standard traffic - a VoIP UDP so short packets), linux, FRR for routing (BGP, OSPF internally), Strongswan (IPSEC), VRRP for “HA” - two of those.

whould you recomend doing a switchover, put two of those boards to two servers (servers role cut down to only - power to the PCI-express) - what are your thouts, do you use this? Does it have a big uptime, or it does need to be rebooted, or simply a bad thing ?

i mean i do know RouterOS - only - what this hardware is worh as - two interfaces on SFP28 could expect a lot of CPU power - but well - as always better to ask - before trying to use it on prod.

This card has issues. I had high hopes for it, but mine is sitting in a drawer since a year or two. Lots of compatibilty, stability, performance and design problems. Just search the forums.
