Is CCR2004-1G-12S+2XS a good fit for this use-case?

Hello @sirbryan, it would be very courteous if you could share your experiences with your two new devices (CCR2004 and RB5009) here in the forum.
I could imagine that their comparison to your other devices would be very interesting for many readers.

So far they’re pretty minimally configured mainly due to 7.1’s fragility in Webfig and only slightly better configurability via Winbox. I haven’t done anything with the RB5009’s yet.

I have a CHR with a Wireguard link to the CCR2004, being used to tunnel traffic between two different networks. I have a VRF for the “internal” network, where the internal interface on each device and the wireguard interfaces have been added to the VRF. OSPFv2 is running across the wireguard tunnel, essentially joining the networks. As of 7.1rc6, OSPFv3 doesn’t work over wireguard (supposedly coming in a future RC).

I’m only pushing 50-200Mbps across the link, so the CPUs of both machines are relatively untouched.

I’m not using IPSEC or BGP (yet), nor any PPP of any kind (PPPoE, L2TP). I do have a Cake queue on the CHR’s wireguard interface (towards the CCR2004) and it seems to be working OK. It was configured but disabled on the CCR2004; nothing has crashed yet.
