showing more of your country its kinda refreshing, must be cold there lol, imagine download games in that kinda speed, i mean what kinda aplication that need that 100G anyway?
I keep "fighting" with people regarding your switches, hard to get them past the Cisco mindset. I have a CRS309 10gb as top of rack in my hypervisor stack to get to the main network switches. I also have a few in my lab system. It's all 10gb for now, and most of the hypervisors barely touch that so plenty of bandwidth for me.
'mikrotik products being cheap' isn't even in the top 3 reasons why you should consider using them, i don't understand why mikrotik likes to emphasize it so much.
@@mikrotik 1. (big one) company ethics. this is a bit difficult to explain but i'll try. mikrotik seems like a company that doesn't subscribe to predatory tactics used by lot's of modern business,especially 'tech' if they grab you they will bleed you to death with accessories, options, licenses , subscriptions and who know what else. another thing do you remeber when some time ago microsoft released windows 10 patch that killed mechanical harddrives? (slowing them down horribly) extorting purchases from users because you had to either get new computer or install SSD (i replaced a lot of drives in my office because of that) i can't imagine mikrotik doing something like that. that's why i'm putting this as #1 ethical behaviour is very rare these days and i think it's important to point out that mikrotik is a rare gem in that regard. 2. updates. (kind of extension of (1)) having to upgrade whole network just because manufacturer decided to stop releasing upgrades can be a big problem especially when it's a surprise. mikrotik never did it so far and i have devce next to me, rb450 with original firmware 2.29 now it's running 7.16.2 slowly but it does. and it was replaced when time came, not because i was forced. and mikrotik will give you 1001 real, good reasons to upgrade with constant improvements to firmware and new hardware. (you will be seduced into upgrading your hardware instead of being bullied) 3. running costs (low power draw, no stupid subscriptions) cost of device matters (especially for enthusiasts like me) but i think that in long run other things matter more (especially #1)

These Mikrotik switch great for home use, or light enterprise. However they fall short for AI/ML/NVMe-oF/RoCE/RDMA .. You need a real (Expensive) or used older switch to use this feature. So be sure to understand your workload before buying.
Going on a teahouse date with a switch, that's a new network-nerd level. Love it! 😄
This is such a fun program you put together! Go Mikrotik!

Awesome, love to hear that!
Riga is such a beautiful city. I hope to visit Mikrotik again in the near future!
Resolve MPLS Fast Re-Reoute or SR-MPLS support maybe ?
You live in such a beautiful country! Why not making more videos outside the office? 😊
Its amzing. I really love MikroTik. I hope a Special Holiday Video.
I would love to see the actual network in action moving a few TB of data across between machines. WOW! This is insane!
Cool stuff. You'd never have Ubiquiti post something like this.
Or even Cisco.
Very interesting! Keep it up!

yes

I've learned the 100G without RDMA is pointless.
