Thanks for that Mike. It looks like it's a no-go for CCR1072 (Tile), so will likely go VRRP for routers-to-switches leg, then MLAGs down to the hypervisors. It'll involve static routing for the VR IP inside each guest. Do you have any recommendations on the best way forward? /CCR1072 *2 >> Dell S4048-ON *2 >> Linux hypervisors *many, in terms of stack!/ Cheers, Luke Thompson, CTO The Network Crew P/L E: luke.t@tnc.works https://tnc.works On 26/9/2024 1:26 pm, Mike Everest via Public wrote:
G'day!
You are correct: MLAG is not available in ROuterOSv6 :-}
Cheers!

Hi again folks,
Just checking into MLAG on routerOS v6.
It seems like it was introduced in v7, so we'd have to do the major upgrade firstly to be able to deploy MLAG?
Many thanks,

Many thanks all for the feedback. :-) Hard to believe how long ago v7 was released.
Our routers are tilera so a tad concerned! Is there much to be worried about in reality? We're running on dual CCR1072 routers.
It feels like a case where once the major upgrades are done, we'll be glad to be on 7.

Hi Luke,
Fashionably late to the party...
For mine, rOSv7 is a no brainer, an issue this morning reminded me that due to us having a 32bit ASN large community support was a show stopper on v6.
We are late entrants to the 'tik family with arm64 routers so our initial experience was months of instability on v6 and v7 not quite ready for production at the time, therefore my opinion of v6 may be a little biased, however, without hesitation, v7 is now more stable and has more features and is being rapidly iterated on.
BGP performance for us is way superior, whilst not quite true multithreading you can allocate a 'process' per input and output session, so we end up with 4 'processes' per peer and have no performance issues querying the table and converging.
I'll qualify all the above by reiterating that these are arm64 based routers, tile based routers have varying reports of success and as always YMMV.
Regards,
Dirk Bermingham

G'day,
I need to get a partial internal network rebuild done, and it seems like a good time to bump the routers up from v6 to v7.
Are there any considerations any longer with doing this for production routers? Is BGP now allowed to use multiple cores?
The safe option seems to be v6 latest, however it's a good opportunity to make the move up to v7 now that it's matured. :-)
Looking forward to hearing your musings, thoughts, experiences and beyond.
