I've been working on a graphic to make teaching #IPv6 subnetting a little easier for engineers that are transitioning from #IPv4. One of the challenges I've run across is that textbook & training examples often use very simple patterns to illustrate IPV6 subnetting. However,…
#MikroTik ROS 7.19.3 is released. *) bridge - allow IPv6 FastPath when dhcp-snooping is enabled This is great to see because it should allow #IPv6 routers to act as a delegating router when using relay to a centralized DHCPv6-PD server without sacrificing performance.
That's what tunnels, static routes and redistribution are for!

LEO satellite operator @Starlink currently experiencing a total outage beginning at 19:13 UTC today. #Starlinkdown No word yet on cause of the outage.
Big news for #MikroTik operators that need to create filters for BGP and other protocols!!! (Thanks to @BergNetwork for pointing it out!) Starting in v7.20beta6, they have released a routing-filter wizard to make it easier to create routing filters. Attached are examples😎
Oooo big news for #MikroTik BGP operators. 👀
Yeah, it's awesome to see wish they did ESI-LAG themselves l! One cool thing I missed is the return of a route filter wizard which makes configuring filters similar to ROS6 again. Just happened to see it while being on the 7.20beta6 lab I am running.
RouterOS 7 stable update Version: 7.19.3 (2025-07-03 13:23:04) Previous: 7.19.2 (2025-06-20 09:55:02) mikrotik.com/download/chang…
OSPF and BGP remain the only "safe" routing protocols to text your co-workers about when flying. 😬 share.google/LNrfpeOI8Gyewr…

Finally converting my standard EVE-NG lab over to the 3fff::/20 IPv6 space (RFC 9637) So helpful to break apart /32s & mock-up ISP networks instead of "cheating" w/ 2001:db8::/32 In this example... 3fff:994a::/32 - ISP being modeled 3fff:da7a::/32 - transit ASN
Interesting and useful addition to /ip/services in #MikroTik Now you can view services other than management protocols (SSH/Winbox/etc) like BFD. Not only can you see the ports BFD is listening on, but you can also see the IPv4 and IPv6 connections to that port. 😎
