Routing algorithm script

RouterOS Scripting

Hi,

I’m new to MikroTik. I was wondering which tool is used to make our own routing algorithm that can be executed on MikroTik routerboard, and can it be done with RouterOS at first place?

Thanks in advance,

Ognjen

You can’t make your own routing algorithms.

Thanks for quick response. I was wondering if I could insert some of the existing (standardised) routing algorithms? If this can be done on routerboard, then in what form (code type) these alghorithms should be.

As I mentioned you can’t. RouterOS does not allow to run 3rd party applications.

What exactly you want to make? Maybe there is some other way.

I would like to test other standard routing protocols that are not included in RouterOS… Is there any way to do this? We purchased RB800 in that purpose.

If you run metarouter with OpenWRT then you can use any routing protocol that is supported on OpenWRT.
