Question is really simple…it’s a fact that other vendors are looking more in the 2.5G since more and more domestic equiment now support it, even new minipc comes with 2.5G eth or most of the Access Point for WiFI 6E or 7 So…what about a device with 4 X 2.5G 2 X 10G SFP+ 1 X 10G Base-T (eth, o…

[image] jookraw: my RB5009 sometimes struggles to route/NAT PPPoE 8Gbps WAN (no CPU is fully loaded), on IPv6 it normally gets ~7.6Gbps The only thing mikrotik needs is HW offloaded PPPoE (ok, maybe not the only thing, but this would be a big one). Or at least multi-threaded PPPoE implementat…

+1 for an RB5009 successor with more 2.5Gbps ports. The UCG Fibre is a serious competitor. Current setup is an RB5009UPr+S+IN with a wAP AX via PoE. Also have a CSS318-16G-2S+ on port 8. Thanks to fibre networks in the UK mandating the use of a Ethernet connection to an ONT device (I understand th…

yes mikrotik please get a successor to rb5009 for 10gbps pppoe capability and lesser ports ,but only 2.5 and sfp+

Even MT made a successor of RB5009 as long as it use the same more or less chipset it can’t give you a 10G performance as far as the PPPoE is concern, because it is single threaded by nature without drastically rewrite PPPoE I think this will be forever, most of the ISP that we know offering more th…

The processor used in the RB5009 has a versatile packet parser that can probably be programmed to handle PPPoE “in hardware”, but there are several other processors used in MikroTik equipment that can do that. It seems RouterOS does not yet take advantage of that, maybe at some time the PPPoE can b…

Well If there were such feature/capability in the hardware what’s stop them from implementing it in their software stack that important features is non optional from a start, there were lot of missing opportunities from Tiks because the ship has sailed, anyway there’s nothing we can do from here asi…

RouterOS has started out as a plain Linux running on i386 PC boards and gradually has been extended and migrated towards dedicated router chipsets. There is only so much you can do with a limited team of programmers, and priorities will always have to be set. I have also asked in the past why ther…

We know that MT consist of small development team and it has been discussed for quite some time now, what I don’t get is why they can’t expand it to the point the all of these backlogs in development can be fulfilled?. If funding is the issue they have a lot of means to gather funds e.g by offering…

Mikrotik is going to react to the Gateway Fiber with a successor of the RB5009?
