MUM USA 2012

The demand for network engineers with a good knowledge in MikroTik RouterOS is constantly increasing. Therefore MikroTik is offering higher educational institutions the possibility to organize Networking classes using RouterOS as a learning tool. Students may obtain an internationally recognized certificate (MTCNA) that confirms their academic credentials. What kind of institutions can apply? What are the requirements, benefits, costs? How to apply? These and also other questions will be answered during the presentation.

This session will talk about the need to deploy IPv6, IPv4 runout, and finally provide an introduction to how to go about deploying IPv6 with practical examples. Everything from basic router configuration to DNS, E-Mail, and HTTP.

Network users are almost universally demanding higher and higher bandwidth rates while commodity internet providers struggle to keep pace with the demand. In many areas, low capacity DSL circuits are the only connectivity available. Load sharing or load balancing is a method of distributing user traffic across multiple low capacity circuits to provide reasonable levels of connectivity. When combined with masquerade, it allows service providers to utilize multiple low cost circuits to feed network services to their users in a more cost effective manner. Providers can spend many thousands of dollars on dedicated load balancers or use the built in functions of ROuterOS to accomplish the same task for much less. This presentation not only demonstrates the configuration of load balancing but teaches the why's and how's of the functions that provide that service.

Using Mikrotik in a WISP environment with focus on rapidly deploying mikrotik routers.

This will discuss common design and configurations for connecting to more than one upstream ISP via BGP.

Discussion of methods you can use to secure your network. Leave the network secure while still providing access to needed management functions from outside your network.

The aim of this presentation is to introduce an easy bandwidth-based load-balancing setup with failover using Mangle, Routing Tables and a little bit of scripting. This setup will be presented on an actual customer-requested topology, which will show the flexibility and scalability of this solution.
