Don't forget the DIY EMP generator....just in case. Who cares if you fry all of your neighbors' tech toys. At least you won't have Skynet on your conscience.

I should have called it an "AI-ready" feature 🤑

Big news for #MikroTik operators that need to create filters for BGP and other protocols!!! (Thanks to @BergNetwork (x) for pointing it out!)

Starting in v7.20beta6, they have released a routing-filter wizard to make it easier to create routing filters. Attached are examples😎

In the last few weeks, #MikroTik has expanded their documentation on EVPN.

It's encouraging to see they are testing the ROSv7 implementation against #Arista EOS to verify interoperability.

#MikroTik ROS 7.19.3 is released.

*) bridge - allow IPv6 FastPath when dhcp-snooping is enabled

This is great to see because it should allow #IPv6 routers to act as a delegating router when using relay to a centralized DHCPv6-PD server without sacrificing performance.

Finally converting my standard EVE-NG lab over to the 3fff::/20 IPv6 space (RFC 9637)

So helpful to break apart /32s & mock-up ISP networks instead of "cheating" with 2001:db8::/32

In this example...

3fff:994a::/32 is used for the ISP being modeled
3fff:da7a::/32 is used for the transit ASN

Interesting and useful addition to /ip/services in #MikroTik

Now you can view services other than management protocols (SSH/Winbox/etc) like BFD.

Not only can you see the ports BFD is listening on, but you can also see the IPv4 and IPv6 connections to that port. 😎

The old days, when all you needed was a console cable and a 30-pound laptop...

In addition to EVPN being added in #MikroTik ROS 7.20, there are a couple other notable additions to BGP that quietly slipped into the release.

- BGP instances
- BGP advertise IPv4 prefix with IPv6 nexthop (RFC5549,RFC8950)

#MikroTik recently migrated forum.mikrotik.com to a new platform based on discourse to replace the older phpbb software.

I was resistant to it at first even though I love dark mode, but it's growing on me :)

What's your opinion on the new forums?

#MikroTik 7.20beta4 is out. Lots of work on EVPN.

Router (computing) - Wikipedia

Apparently the French built the first "Router" for the CYCLADES network about a year before DARPA built theirs.

See if you can knock out CCIE licensing before the end of the week!

Current prefix range distribution for IPv6 (21-May-2025)

👀

help.mikrotik.com/docs/spaces/...

I see 225739 IPv6 prefixes. This is 151 more prefixes than 6 hours ago and 1448 more than a week ago. 46.03% of prefixes are /48.

Wow! Beautiful eyes. Gorgeous dog! 🤩

Ice T Law & Order meme: Ice T is saying “LLMs are making up the names of software packages in their code and hackers are naming their malware to fit. The script kiddies are calling it ‘slopsquatting’.”

Interesting discussion on how to enable hardware offload of a full IPv4 table on a MikroTik CCR2216 even though the ASIC doesn't technically have enough space.

For simpler 100G edge router use cases, it's hard to beat a $2k peering router w/ an ASIC
