Re: Which types of ports would you like to see for a high speed router

Thu Dec 13, 2018 10:46 am

Good day!
Here is my idea

1) The main thing is that the router should have power supply modules like on CCR1072 (48v + 48v, 48v + 220v, 220v + 220v)
2) The router should have a minimum of 8x10GB (SFP +) and a 2x40GB interface. And so, you can create a router with 8x10GB (SFP +) and a slot for modules with interfaces 2x25GB or 2x40GB or 2x25GB + 2x40GB interface.
3) A CPU that will, without any problems, handle this interface volume on the switching ~ 320/480/960GB router. Because with this amount of data, many will use Mikrotik CCRxxxx as a core router with BGP Full View.
4) You can increase the size of the router by 2U or 3U. Not so much difference between 1U or 2U or 3U.

Best Regards.

Given that there are switch chips and encryption chip, how about other types of specialized ASICs to further offload the cpu and give the boxes better performance.

A firewall chip perhaps??

Switch chips typically have ACL capabilities built-in.

Limited to layer 2 I assume??

When it comes to future new features on new designs of Mikrotik devices ,...

I would like to propose:
#1: CRS (Bad Boy)
- An Intel XEON processor on a motherboard (fast clock with lots of CPU cache & ability to disable CPU hyper-threading)
- Zero 1-Gig ports (no 1-Gig only ports)
- Qty ten SFP+ (10-Gig) ports
- Qty 4 10-gig Ethernet ports (copper)
- A card slot for an optional faster-than-10-Gig I/O card that can be inserted later)
- All I/O ports use a single switch chip
--- Designed for maximum performance ---

#2: CRS (Bad Boy's little brother)
- Zero 1-Gig ports (no 1-Gig only ports)
- Qty ten SFP+ (10-Gig) ports
- Qty 4 10-gig Ethernet ports (copper)
- A card slot for an optional faster-than-10-Gig I/O card that can be inserted later)
- All I/O ports use a single switch chip
--- Designed to be cost effective ---

I apologize, but the name of the topic about the "high speed router", and not on the switch...

So , I am assuming that you think/feel that a hardware switch-chip and/or a XEON processor and/or 10-Gig SFP+ and/or 10-Gig copper-ethernet ports and/or a faster than 10-Gig expansion slot would would not make a router run faster for Layer 1, Layer 2 and Layer 3 throughput ?

No need to ask every three months. Once per three years is more than enough.

Thread was started to get ideas about potential requirements in hypothetical devices that may come in the future, not a specific product. To see what standards people see as becoming more needed etc.

Yea. But my first wish is to make interfaces work perfect which are there. I still cant see how flow control is negotiated. It happens flow control is not negotiated at all. And I often have the problem with negotiation on sfp interfaces. I need to disable/enable an interface after reboot (made a script) to make it work.

Imho it is senseless to buy a high speed router with e.g. QSFP+ with only basic Ethernet functionality.

(As WISP I would like to see a bigger/more powerful powerbox pro (which is a great device) with SFP+ (or integrated LC-Singlemode plugs), and mixed 24/48V POE ports).

Hi, great thread.
I would love to see SFP28 and QSFP28 with support ofcourse for SFP+/SFP. Something like the crs317 but with SFP28 instead of SFP+ plus 2 QSFP28.

Interesting thread. I would like 2-4 QSFP ports with 24 SFP+ ports that are both 1 and 10 Gig capable. For the CPE HAP ac's etc a VOIP port RJ11 connection.

Ehm, that 2-4 QSFP ports and 24 SFP+ already exists:
https://mikrotik.com/product/crs326_24s_2q_rm

AFAIK, mikrotik supports 1G and 10G SFPs in SFP+ ports.(Atleast it does in the CRS317)

Hi,

One thing I notice is that MT like with the new CCR2xxx has 2 faster ports, but I would say 4 would be required.

2 ports only makes it possible to build rings, but with 4 or more meshing is possible. For me 4 would be enough normally.

Joarc I am holding off I would like to see 100G upstream with 10 SFP+ down feeding 1 SFP+ to 10 1G SFP or 2 SFP+ to 20 1G SFP routers for feeding customers with 1G capability. The 40G modules are not that common I can see the 25G-50G-100G-200G route prevailing in the long term and end up with the modules coming down in price lower than 40G units.
New 5 mile fiber backbone going in March this year and I said I was retiring 5 years ago. With luck new routers/switches available for me!!! Time to wake up LOL.

My penny's worth

I have 10 New HP servers and all have 10gb and 25GB ports. Our Current HPE switches do not have 25gb support. Which Mikrotik Switches support this? I was unable to see this standard on the routerboard site.

Any update on this?

We need something better than 1072? or a 1072 with 40G/100G

I would love a SFP version of the RB4011iGS+RM 20 SFP ports instead of RJ45 as none of my customers are within ethernet range of my cabs. I cant be the only one in this boat. 2 x SFP+ and 20 SFP would be ideal.

2 x SFP+ (10G)
2 x 10Gbit copper (10G)
1 x Management with PoE

99% of locations I manage are using only 1 ISP, thus most multi port routers are pretty much empty (only using two ports because switches on RBs are crap)

Hi Normis,

The CCR2004-1G-2XS-PCIe smart PCIe network interface card is finally here.
Are there plans to release an updated fw with an RDMA Engine and driver?
