		At least it is a question I&#8217;m often asked about how the Mikrotik Router treats vlan traffic.  In this article, I will address some of the more common types of configurations and help you to understand exactly where you will, or will not, see a packet that is tagged.
Let me begin with the most simple [...]]]></description>

		Mikrotik has recently added MPLS to their already amazing RouterOS product.  MPLS offers some really nice options for bridging networks that exist within a single administrative domain.  But, what can you do if you need to bridge 2 networks that do NOT exist within the same administrative domain?  This article discusses how to create a [...]]]></description>

		About 2 months ago, I began experimenting with an approach to QOS that mimics much of the functionality of the NetEqualizer (http://www.netequalizer.com) product line.  As I was experimenting with some various techniques for limiting bandwidth utilization, I realized that the scope of the project I had undertaken was WAY more than I had initially bargained [...]]]></description>

		One major issue facing ISPs today is the difficulty in obtaining sufficient IP space for every customer.  For many, it&#8217;s a matter of cost and for some it is simply a choice to NAT their customers behind their router/firewall.  For the most part, NAT behaves much better today than in days gone by, but there [...]]]></description>

		In this article, I will describe one functional use for the layer-7  filters that MikroTik offers.  This feature can be very useful if used with caution.  The main problem with L7 filters is that they require much more processor time than many of the firewall functions.  I am not saying this just to &#8220;scare&#8221; you [...]]]></description>

		It&#8217;s a question that I get from time to time and it&#8217;s time to answer here.  If you understand the fundamental principles of networking, then all the other parts of building and maintaining an ISP network (wired OR wireless) are much simpler.  In this series of articles we will discuss the processes that make IP [...]]]></description>
