This should be interesting. I think a lot of it is going to depend on the complexity of the use cases. For ISPs, getting OSPF/BGP/MPLS really well tested is going to be key for WISP/FISPs and other ISP operators to move over to v7.

The simpler use cases for routing and switching in a single device should be doable now.

IPNAT, my family (med student, sign other - works from home much, poker players) are far more demanding than any business boss...... Will switch over when 7.2 hits stable stream ;-)

I 4 1 am very PLEASED with 7.1 Stable .... I've upgraded my business clients to 7.1 .... some have reported improved performance behavior which I suspect is due to much more efficient memory utilization .... WireGuard flies and in my special security configuration requires 2 firewall rules [INPUT Chain/FORWARD Chain] .... Yes I recommend 7.1 without question but I currently do not use BGP for any client.

You have a special wireguard firewall ruleset??
Pray tell what could they be. Open ended teases must be answered.

a. normal rule for inbound port initial connection +
b. rule to allow access from wg interface to router for winbox perhaps ??
c. rule to allow access from wg interface to a LAN user/device ??

For Winbox remote access I still use IPsec IKE2 but will be moving that to WireGuard sometime soon.

I'm using 7.1 on my home access point (wave 2) i can push about 550mbps tcp data over the wireless to my computer.
I'm quite happy with it. probably going to swap my home router to 7.1 as well. I want to learn how to use the containers!

as for my isp, No we are all on L.T.S releases. but as soon as i can confirm switching won't cause problems. We will start swapping. But I think i will wait for a long term release before i begin messing with that.
