Thanks MT! Very exciting to see more news on the CCR1072!!

Will the 1072 system architecture allow for more than 1 Gbps of traffic for a single TCP stream?

Thanks MikroTik,
Waiting for CCR1072-1G-8S+ performance test result.

CCR1009-8G-1S-1S+PC (pasive cooling) - nice Routerboard. In PDF you have mistake. “Extras: speed controlled fan”
and
PowerBOX

  • nice product, but why only 100Mbit ETH? A lot of people say on forum so rb750UP is old. Only 400Mhz and 100Mbit ports. And your new product have the same specs :frowning:
    -Input voltage only 5-30V. Better is 10-57V
    -Yes we have rb260GSP. But this is not router :frowning:

Oh, please please please, get rid of external power supplies in such a powerful models!

Look… You’re announcing rack-mount 2x10G-equiped router (say, CRS210-8G-2S+IN) which is not looking like aimed to SOHO market, but you’ve equipped it with external “cheapest-one-in-China-made” grade supply! This is strictly against idea of ‘put and forget’ approach which is something everyone expecting from rack-mount router.

Why don’t you put internal nice quality power supply at least at CCRs? You’ll save space in the rack, and you’ll add up to the look of such routers! Moreover, if I bring myself 2x10G-ports router I may expect I’d better pay a few more $'s for the second internal power supply to be on the safe side. What’s good for me to pay “only $229” if I risk to drop 10’s Gigs of traffic which results in $1000’s of money lost? I don’t see the saving in such a risk.

So, please put power supplies inside the routers, and when it comes to CCRs, please use two build-in power supplies instead of one. Yes, it’ll rise the price a bit but I suspect everyone who care for his traffic (that is, those who buy CCRs) will thank you for that.

P.S. It may also be a good idea to have both built-in power supply and external one (like 10-57V DC), so the power scheme be universal.

Wait, all CCR models have internal power supplies, which product do you mean specifically?

7

first we send new product information to distributors, so they get a chance to familiarise themselves with the new products and put them on their webpages. Otherwise they would hear from the customers first.

8

Yes. But on forum you can also say info about new products.
Bulletin could also mention the new products…
Distributors have info, but users (and Mikrotik fans) must seek information outside the official forum.
Better to learn first information from you. Page routerboard.com could these products contain - describing the “future product”
CCR1072, powerbox, CCR1009-8G-1S-1S+PC

And a lot of people still waiting for dualband homeAP as rb951G :slight_smile:
Thanks

… and dualband, dualradio businessAP :slight_smile:

10

no, actually the idea is that you don’t spread this information, so we have a chance to send official newsletter next week :smiley: you just don’t give us this chance

11

The passively cooled CCR1009 is seriously cool :wink:

Nice work!

This is imperative!

The Mikrotik technology is available but needs packaging / branding correctly. I have also just seen a webinar from ruckus about its Xclaim SMB line. Same Price point as Mikrotik for SMB and looks/appears to be highly suited to the target market.

Cheap
Easy to setup
Cosmetically appealing - unfortunately V Important
Band Steering - Mikrotik where is this?
management Interface is also smart and appealing

I know it doesn`t come with the awesome ROS but this is no argument when its missing popular and highly needed features (No Scanlist for CAPsMAN, no band steering).

I love Mikrotik kit and its close - it just needs nudging a few steps! Which I know costs money.

A very quickly typed -Crazy? Christmas WISH LIST:

dual band and radio
band steering
auto freq tune
Support for advanced roaming - .11r-2008
COSMETICALLY APPEALING
Significantly Improved CAPsMAN
hotspot 2 support
DUDE - new version / cloud based option?
Earlier Adoption for .11ad than .11ac

Perhaps Xmas will come early at MUM in Prague. Looking forward to it.

Kind Regards

Aidan

8x 10gbit switch please. Or more ports. Willing to sell my soul to get one.

Also, add dual power supplies to 32 core ccr.

14

That cracks me up :smiley: I am also willing to sell my soul for one of these mega-throughput unicorns

15

This would be nice.

Also a fanless/passive cooled CCR-1009 with dual integrated PSU and the LCD on the front (rackmountable).

CCR1072 uses a state of the art Tilera CPU with 72 CPU cores

even if CCR has 1 million cpu, it is not gona be help when the DDoS came :laughing: it will be stuck !

they have to reserve 1 cpu to manage, 1 cpu to reboot :smiley:

17

yeah dual band 802.11ac ap its important,

meanwhile, using a basebox 2 and a 802.11ac pcie card will cover the position, but i think the cpu only has resources to move 802.11 ac 200mbit throughput in fast path mode

18

Passive cooled CCR Mikrotik have:

Pretty sure Mikrotik can do it. They have the hardware now.

Two things.

  1. The powerBox…desperately need this w/ gigabit ports and better CPU.

  2. CRS212-1G-10S-1S+IN looks great, but I really want just one more SFP+ port. Want to be able to run 10G from upstream, into CRS, then 10G downstream to the next CRS is the chain. SFP ports great for FttH customers though.
