MUM USA 2019

Having used MikroTik RouterOS for more than seventeen years, I can tell you that without a doubt, there are several common questions that seem to resurface on a regular basis. In spite of what I would describe as a very complete manual on the MikroTik wiki, "How do I do this or that” is repeated time and time again such as “How do I forward a port” or “How do I back up my configuration". This presentation will take the top ten Google search terms that include "MikroTik HowTo" and explain each feature in a step by step manner. Some of these functions are basic, yet these are the things most people are searching for.

Greg demonstrates a simple way to access Geolocked content using VPN tunnels and short scripts. This is great for switching where a media device is sourced from for accessing streaming video.

This presentation will focus on how to design the eBGP border of an ISP using a full table route reflector to improve the performance of MIkroTik routers that are handling three or more full BGP global tables.

The design will review the use of a full table route reflector to peer the border routers into and improve the speed of convergence as well as provide a way to scale the border of the network.

This is an "Ask Me Anything" style panel focused on MikroTik routing and ancillary services. Have your questions ready, and we will do our best at answering them.

The presentation is a deep-dive into attack vectors and attack techniques utilised by the large wave of attacks on MikroTik devices during the year 2018. We analyse the RouterOS exploits that utilized Vault7, WinBox client-side and WinBox server-side vulnerabilities.

How were the attacks performed? What did the attackers do with the exploited routers? What was the impact and the spread of the attacks?

Finally, we will talk about security, and how to protect yourself from exploits like these in the future by analyzing what should have been done by network administrators to prevent these exploits.

You will find out how easy to use Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol in MikroTik to provides an automatic assignment of available IP routers to participating hosts for increases the availability and reliability of routing paths.

RouterOS allows you to work with VLANs in different ways. In software, in the switch chip and in bridges. This presentation will try to cover the pros/cons of these approaches and to show some tips.

Lets talk about MikroTik device throughput, how one should test it, what are the most common misunderstandings and how to improve the numbers

Learn how to use Traffic Control to ensure critical traffic throughput times of congestion and fair bandwidth distribution to end users.

Learn the fundamental concepts of Traffic Control: Classifying, Scheduling, Shaping HTB and Bursting.

How to use MikroTik routers to provide cost effective DOCSIS provisioning in small to medium size cable modem deployments.

This is a quick, practical guide on how to start with IPv6. How to get your IPv6 prefix, and what you should route to customers/businesses etc. We will talk about subnet sizes, as well as how to issue prefixes to customers, and customers of customers as well. If you are interested in starting with IPv6, then this is the session for you.

How to leverage MikroTik wireless features to get the best performance from your wireless link. This presentation will take a look at both the wireless characteristics as well as the settings needed to get optimal performance.

In this presentation we will discuss using a MIkroTik CHR as a highly available PPPoE aggregation solution. Using IPv4 and IPv6 we will explore how to design and configure multiple CHR's so that PPPoE sessions can be load balanced across two or more VM's. We will also explore how this solution helps with scaling resources for rapidly growing subscriber counts.
