Re: 10G-capable customer router recommendations?

[Josh Reynolds <josh () kyneticwifi com>]

So after looking at the most recent testing I can find, it seems the that
the 10Gbps CCR can indeed do more than 1Gbps per flow. It requires jumbo
frames and fastpath  compatible config to pull off.

In short, you're still better off for the price using a L3 ASIC on a 10Gbps
capable switch which can do full line rate at the smallest packet sizes
with those limitations in mind.

MikroTik is indeed a good general purpose platform for many things.
Although the CLI IMO isn't as nice as JUNOS or Vyatta/EdgeOS (personal
preference here), many should not be so quick to dismiss it.
