I believe I might have been too premature in jumping to the conclusion that Mikrotik isn't RFC3021 compliant. https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc3021 After having a look at it in a bit more detail, it appears that 3021 is about the ability to use /31 prefixes, not using them for BGP. Tiks can use /31 subnets for point-to-point links, just not for BGP by the looks of things. Still doesn't make sense though.

Hi,
I don’t think mikrotik is RFC3021 compliant. So although you can beat a mikrotik into submission to get traffic to flow using a /31, I expect there are other bits to make it compliant that are missing. Not that I have actually read the RFC to know.

Hi Andrew,
That's what I don't get - from a general technological perspective there's no reason why it shouldn't work. If anything, it's only giving me a reason to start steering away from Mikrotik for anything other than aggregation and end-user CPE.

Pretty sure I recall reading on the Mikrotik Forums where someone else was trying this and could not get a /31 to work with BGP on mikrotik.

G'day!
If the session doesn't establish, it won't have anything to do with the networks you are trying to advertise...
Do routerOS logs give you any clues? If not, try adding bgp debug to system logging :)
Cheers! Mike.

Hey all,
Trying to stand-up a BGP session between a CCR2004-1G-12S+2XS and a CCR2004-16G-2S+ using a /31 for the link. I'm able to ping across the CCR2004-16G-2S+ link no problem, however, the BGP session doesn't establish. I'm attempting to move an existing session from a /30 where it works in order to conserve IP space. Is there some skullduggery going on, or is 7.13 just not RFC3021-compliant?
