Hi Philip, We've been using CCR1072's as our core routers in data centres, and both have been doing well handling 5Gbps at peak. We've had issues with CPU load on things that aren't currently multi-threaded, such as BGP, but when everything is up and stable they run quite well. Haven't used the 1072 as a BNG, but we do have a 1036 with over 1100 PPP connections, so I suspect the 1072 should handle much, much more.

However, as with most things, you tend to not hear from people who do NOT have problems. I was just wondering if anyone would mind sharing some real-world experience of these devices? Note that I am specifically interested in the CCR1072 - we have plenty of experience with CCR1009, CCR1016 and CCR1036 series devices. I am aware that the CCR1036 has 36x 1.2Ghz cores, whereas the CCR1072 has 72x 1Ghz cores, so they are clearly more suited to multi-threaded use cases (not BGP with full route tables...). But it seems like it should be reasonable as a BNG. What are others using them for? Any feedback would be appreciated :) Regards, Philip Loenneker | Senior Network Engineer | TasmaNet 40-50 Innovation Drive, Dowsing Point, Tas 7010, Australia P: 1300 792 711 philip.loenneker@tasmanet.com.au<mailto:philip.loenneker@tasmanet.com.au> www.tasmanet.com.au<http://www.tasmanet.com.au/> _______________________________________________ Public mailing list Public@talk.mikrotik.com.au http://talk.mikrotik.com.au/mailman/listinfo/public_talk.mikrotik.com.au
