Containerized App Management with RouterOS by MikroTik
RouterOS Apps introduce a simplified way to deploy containerized services directly on MikroTik routers, allowing operators to run infrastructure tools such as DNS, monitoring, and logging without separate servers or virtualization platforms. With just a few clicks, RouterOS automatically deploys containers along with required networking and firewall configuration. This capability enables ISPs and network operators to host operational services closer to the network while reducing complexity and infrastructure overhead.

Advantages and Disadvantages of Using VXLAN vs. VPLS in RouterOS 7

VXLAN and VPLS both solve the same business problem for ISPs—delivering Layer 2 services across a routed network—but they do it in very different ways. If you are expanding a modern RouterOS 7 network, the choice you make directly impacts scalability, operational complexity, MTU planning, and long-term flexibility. Our latest article breaks down the practical advantages and tradeoffs of VXLAN versus VPLS, with an ISP-focused lens on performance, design patterns, and real-world deployment considerations.

If you are planning multi-site transport, customer VLAN delivery, or a next-generation “Layer 2.5” architecture, this comparison will help you select the right tool and avoid expensive redesigns later. Click Details for the full article.

Exploring the BGP Features of RouterOS 7 from MikroTik
MikroTik RouterOS 7 significantly enhances BGP capabilities, delivering improved scalability, resiliency, and policy control for modern ISP and enterprise networks. It introduces features like multipath routing, large BGP communities, and an overhauled filtering system, enabling more efficient traffic engineering and simplified configuration management. Support for MP-BGP, EVPN, route reflectors, and confederations allows for flexible, large-scale network design without excessive complexity. Overall, RouterOS 7 brings carrier-grade routing performance, faster convergence, and improved visibility at a cost-effective level.
