Mikrotik 1072 or EdgeRouter Infinity for NFP

Hi folks,

So I do some work for a not for profit.. And we need a new edge router. We are operating with 10gbps transit, 10gbps peering and are regularly doing 7gbps aggregate (and pushing 2M pps) on current hardware..

As we have grown we moved from pfsence to a custom hbsd router, then went to Vyos. While they have all been good, the hardware we were on was limit at times, and we have ran into some critical bugs (null Mac packets from vyos leaking onto the peering fabric, and random dropouts).. So we are in the shop for something new that will work and be stable.

I know Mikrotik is limit to single threaded bgp, and with fast path has been known to misplace arp requests.. But I am unsure how this new edgemax performs? .

So anyone got experience in running these in anger? With a sensitive IXP?

Thanks in advance.

Jake
