According to Mikrotik specs the CCR2116 has the same CPU as the CCR2216. As I understand it the CCR2216 have a very powerful switch chip that makes the difference between the two routers (except for the physical interface differences of course)
Is there anyone that has compared the performance difference between these two routers when doing eBGP session with full routing table?
I am currently using a CCR2116 as eBGP and receiving around 140 000 routes. Peak traffic is around 2Gbit/s. The router is a pure BGP router (not used for any other network functions). Only RAW firewall rules (no connection tracking).
Would be interesting to know if anyone has some practical experience with this and can provide insight in the performance differences. I am thinking of receiving a full routing table from two different providers and also upgrading capacity to 10Gbit/s.
