MikroTik RouterOS

MikroTik RouterOS is the operating system of MikroTik
It can be installed on a PC.
Provides routing, firewall, bandwidth management, wireless access point, backhaul link, hotspot gateway, VPN server and more.
RouterOS is a stand-alone operating system based on the Linux kernel.
Provides quick and simple installation and an easy to use interface.
The free trial provides all of the features with no limitations.

RouterOS Firewall

Advanced packet filter for outgoing traffic.
Stateful packet inspection.
Source and destination NAT (Network Address Translation).
NAT helpers for poular applications and UPnP.
The Firewall provides features to make use of internal connection, routing and packet marks.
It can filter by IP address, address range, port, port range,IP protocol, DSCP and other parameters, also supports Static and Dynamic Address Lists, and can match packets by pattern in their content, specified in Regular Expressions, called Layer7 matching.
The RouterOS Firewall facility also supports IPv6.

RouterOS Routing

RouterOS supports a multitude of routing protocols.

For IPv4 it supports RIP v1 and v2, OSPF v2, BGP v4.
For IPv6 it supports RIPng, OSPFv3 and BGP.

RouterOS also supports Virtual Routing and Forwarding (VRF),Policy based routing, Interface based routing and ECMP routing. You can use the Firewall filter to mark specific connections withRouting marks, and then make the marked traffic use a different ISP. Now with MPLS support added to RouterOS, VRF is also introduced.

RouterOS MPLS

MPLS stands for MultiProtocol Label Switching. It can be used to replace IP routing. Efficiency of forwarding process is the main benefit of MPLS. It is a highly scalable, protocol agnostic, data-carrying mechanism. This allows one to create end-to-end circuits across any type of transport medium, using any protocol.Some of the supported MPLS features:

Static Label bindings for IPv4
Label Distribution protocol for IPv4
RSVP Traffic Engineering tunnels
VPLS MP-BGP based autodiscovery and signaling
MP-BGP based MPLS IP VPN

RouterOS VPN

To establish secure connections over open networks or the Internet. Connect remote locations with encrypted links.RouterOS supports various VPN methods and tunnel protocols:

Ipsec – tunnel and transport mode, certificate or PSK, AH and ESP security protocols
Point to point tunneling (OpenVPN, PPTP, PPPoE, L2TP)
Advanced PPP features (MLPPP, BCP)
Simple tunnels (IPIP, EoIP)
6to4 tunnel support (IPv6 over IPv4 network)
VLAN – IEEE802.1q Virtual LAN support, Q-in-Q support MPLS based VPNs

Wireless

Whether it’s a small hotspot network in your home, or a city wide mesh network, RouterOS will help you in all situations.Some of the features supported by RouterOS:

IEEE802.11a/b/g/n wireless client and access point
Nstreme and Nv2 TDMA proprietary protocols
Client polling
RTS/CTS
Wireless Distribution System (WDS)
Virtual AP
WEP, WPA, WPA2 encryption
Access control list
Wireless client roaming
WMM
HWMP+ Wireless MESH protocol
MME wireless routing protocol

Hotspot

The MikroTik HotSpot Gateway enables provision of public network access. The user will be presented a login screen when first opening his web browserNo software installation or network configuration is needed, hotspot will direct any connection request to the login form.Hotspot also supports authentication against standard RADIUS servers and MikroTik’s own User Manager.

Plug-n-Play access to the Network.
User Accounting
Walled garden for browsing exceptions

Quality of Service

Quality of Service (QoS) means that the router can prioritize and shapenetwork traffic.Some features of MikroTik RouterOS traffic controlmechanism are listed below:

Limit data rate for certain IP addresses, subnets, protocols, ports, and other parameters.
Limit peer-to-peer traffic.
Prioritise some packet flows over others.
Use queue bursts for faster web browsing
Apply queues on fixed time intervals.
Share available traffic among users equally, or depending on the load of the channel
Set speed based on any granularity (32/16/8/4/2/1kbps or other)

Web Proxy

RouterOS features a MikroTik custom made proxy server for caching web resources, and speeding up customer browsing by delivering them cached file copies at local network speed.MikroTik RouterOS implements the following proxy server features:

Regular HTTP proxy
Transparent proxy
Access list by source, destination, URL and requested method (HTTP firewall)
Cache access list to specify which objects to cache, and which not.
Direct Access List to specify which resources should be accessed directly, and which - through another proxy server
Logging facility
SOCKS proxy support
Parent proxy support
Cache storage on external drives

Tools

To help administrating your network, RouterOS also provides a large number of small network tools to optimize your everyday tasks.Here are some of them:

Ping, traceroute
Bandwidth test, ping flood
Packet sniffer, torch
Telnet, SSH
E-mail and SMS send/receive tools
Automated script execution tools
CALEA data mirroring
File Fetch tool
Active connection table
