Beyond IPv4: Designing Autonomous Networks with IPv6
IPv6 is no longer optional for ISPs and network operators that want to scale efficiently, reduce complexity, and prepare for long-term growth. As IPv4 costs rise and CGNAT-driven workarounds continue to create operational headaches, IPv6 offers a cleaner, more structured approach to routing, automation, security, and customer delivery. At Link Technologies, we help providers modernize their networks with MikroTik hardware, IPv6 design expertise, and real-world deployment support—so whether you are planning a dual-stack rollout or building an IPv6-first network, we can help you move forward with confidence.

Bridging the Gap: VXLAN's Point-to-Multipoint Advantage for ISPs with MikroTik
MikroTik’s RouterOS VXLAN support delivers a scalable, flexible solution for ISPs looking to bridge the gap between traditional Layer 2 and Layer 3 networking by encapsulating Ethernet over routed infrastructure, enabling efficient point-to-multipoint connectivity without the complexity and limitations of fully meshed Layer 2 designs. With easy configuration, cost-effective hardware options, and compatibility with modern network architectures, VXLAN on RouterOS provides ISPs with a powerful tool for building resilient, high-performance networks.

Advantages and Disadvantages of Using VXLAN vs. VPLS in RouterOS 7

VXLAN and VPLS both solve the same business problem for ISPs—delivering Layer 2 services across a routed network—but they do it in very different ways. If you are expanding a modern RouterOS 7 network, the choice you make directly impacts scalability, operational complexity, MTU planning, and long-term flexibility. Our latest article breaks down the practical advantages and tradeoffs of VXLAN versus VPLS, with an ISP-focused lens on performance, design patterns, and real-world deployment considerations.

If you are planning multi-site transport, customer VLAN delivery, or a next-generation “Layer 2.5” architecture, this comparison will help you select the right tool and avoid expensive redesigns later. Click Details for the full article.

Exploring the BGP Features of RouterOS 7 from MikroTik
MikroTik RouterOS 7 significantly enhances BGP capabilities, delivering improved scalability, resiliency, and policy control for modern ISP and enterprise networks. It introduces features like multipath routing, large BGP communities, and an overhauled filtering system, enabling more efficient traffic engineering and simplified configuration management. Support for MP-BGP, EVPN, route reflectors, and confederations allows for flexible, large-scale network design without excessive complexity. Overall, RouterOS 7 brings carrier-grade routing performance, faster convergence, and improved visibility at a cost-effective level.
