ROS 7 Beta

RouterOS General
1

Hi Guys,

Where / how can I download the v7 Beta?

Is there a changelog to see the features that have been done / are being worked on?

Thanks guys.

It’s chimera only. Nothing like that exists.

There is a sub-title “RouterOS v6 RC and v7 BETA” create by them. If no v7, they must announce to user in order to avoid any confuse.

4

Subtitle… Yes. It is. And then what? Nothing. No roadmap, no description of features, no previews. Fata morgana is more tangible than v7.

5

I don’t understand the constant need for v7? What are you trying to achieve now and can’t that you know v7 can do?

6

The need was invoked by mikrotik, because they postponed some things to that version. Nothing more.

7

There are certain caveats (don’t remember now which ones) that were dependent on kernel. Mikrotik said they would be addressed with V7 - due to the new kernel.

So, we want it. In fact, we want these caveats addressed, and not V7 per se.

8

It is interesting that you are waiting for something and you do not remember even what it was :smiley:

9

The world would literally stop revolving if MikroTik renamed 6.42.3 to 7.1
I wonder how many people would be waiting for v8?

10

All those who do not wait for v7, because they don’t know what they are missing now.

11

I am waiting for “new routing” they could call it “RouterOS Flying Sphagetti Monster” for all I care, as long as it has the new routing engine in it.

12

That will never happen. Save your time and switch to another vendor.
As good as the MikroTik hardware is - as bad is the software.

13

Well, if it makes You happy:

  1. UDP OpenVPN
  2. LZO compression with OpenVpn
  3. Better thread handling with BGP
  4. Various IPv6 improvements

From the top of my head, we have this 4. I know there are many more - I just can’t remember.

Now, can we have ROS 7? Pretty please? :slight_smile:

14

Also add to firewall address-list from routing filter and isolated VRFs :slight_smile:

15
  • better Multicore Support
  • BGP Multicore optimizing
16

These are my top requests also :smiley:

17

It is also interesting to launch v7 over FOUR YEAR. :laughing: :laughing:

18

It’s more like 6 years…

19

True Isolated VRFs
ip setting RP Filter Strict VRF Aware.
All other Services/Features VRF Aware
New Routing Engine Multicore Support.
v4v6 agnostic full same features over the whole product.
And that’s just the top of my head.

i will open a bottle champagne when Mikrotik support multicore BGP :slight_smile:
