Hi Paul,
-----Original Message----- I for one love the Mikrotik product and wish I could use it for everything, but as our network grows and becomes more complex I find myself asking the question of "which cisco or juniper should I put in here as I just can't quite trust a Mikrotik device for this critical job" more than I used to.
That is perfectly fair - I would argue that it should be a question asked in all cases by default, and for all vendor products also! :-) There is no 1 size fits all approach with MikroTik and the same can be argued for any other vendor hardware I can think of - in many ways: do I trust it to do the job? is the additional expense worth the extra capability? Is the savings in price worth the reduction in performance? Is the additional support level worth the additional cost? ... ;-) Cheers, Mike.
