Hi, i am a poor newbie (big user of Cisco), but many friends recommended me to microtik router, and i have seen lot of network operators deploying this soltuion (MTN for instance);
My question is simple, we are an ISP and we need to provide to a camp, Internet for 4500 users with offers like 512kbits to 1Mbits per user.
The network is ethernet wired , and there is no need of ppoe session(no dslam, no switrch etc).
I would like to go with a power router 2242 , this engine seems powerful and moreover compatible with billing solution (aradial).
Our provider will provide 600 Mbits of bandwith, and maybe more later if demand increase.
Can the "power router 2242" handle 4500 users, do traffic shaping for them (CIR and MIR defined also) ?
How much traffic and bandwith it can manage ?
The ISP link will be on a Cisco ASR1006, no bgp on the power router 2242 .
Thanks lot for your answers .
