Kegunaan MikroTik RouterOS™

MikroTik RouterOS™ adalah sistem operasi linux yang dapat digunakan untuk

menjadikan komputer menjadi router network yang handal, mencakup berbagai fitur

yang dibuat untuk ip network dan jaringan wireless, cocok digunakan oleh ISP dan

provider hostspot.

Ada pun fitur2 nya sbb:

* Firewall and NAT - stateful packet filtering; Peer-to-Peer protocol filtering; source and

destination NAT; classification by source MAC, IP addresses (networks or a list of

networks) and address types, port range, IP protocols, protocol options (ICMP type,

TCP flags and MSS), interfaces, internal packet and connection marks, ToS (DSCP)

byte, content, matching sequence/frequency, packet size, time and more

* Routing - Static routing; Equal cost multi-path routing; Policy based routing

(classification done in firewall); RIP v1 / v2, OSPF v2, BGP v4.

* Data Rate Management - Hierarchical HTB QoS system with bursts; per IP / protocol

/ subnet / port / firewall mark; PCQ, RED, SFQ, FIFO queue; CIR, MIR, contention

ratios, dynamic client rate equalizing (PCQ), bursts, Peer-to-Peer protocol limitation.

* HotSpot - HotSpot Gateway with RADIUS authentication and accounting; true Plug-

and-Play access for network users; data rate limitation; differentiated firewall; traffic

quota; real-time status information; walled-garden; customized HTML login pages;

iPass support; SSL secure authentication; advertisement support.

* Point-to-Point tunneling protocols - PPTP, PPPoE and L2TP Access Concentrators

and clients; PAP, CHAP, MSCHAPv1 and MSCHAPv2 authentication protocols;

RADIUS authentication and accounting; MPPE encryption; compression for PPPoE;

data rate limitation; differentiated firewall; PPPoE dial on demand.

* Simple tunnels - IPIP tunnels, EoIP (Ethernet over IP).

* IPsec - IP security AH and ESP protocols; MODP Diffie-Hellman groups 1,2,5; MD5

and SHA1 hashing algorithms; DES, 3DES, AES-128, AES-192, AES-256 encryption

algorithms; Perfect Forwarding Secrecy (PFS) MODP groups 1,2,5.

* Proxy - FTP and HTTP caching proxy server; HTTPS proxy; transparent DNS and

HTTP proxying; SOCKS protocol support; DNS static entries; support for caching on

a separate drive; access control lists; caching lists; parent proxy support.

* DHCP - DHCP server per interface; DHCP relay; DHCP client; multiple DHCP

networks; static and dynamic DHCP leases; RADIUS support.

* VRRP - VRRP protocol for high availability.

* UPnP - Universal Plug-and-Play support.

* NTP - Network Time Protocol server and client; synchronization with GPS system.

* Monitoring/Accounting - IP traffic accounting, firewall actions logging, statistics

graphs accessible via HTTP.

* SNMP - read-only access.

* M3P - MikroTik Packet Packer Protocol for Wireless links and Ethernet.

* MNDP - MikroTik Neighbor Discovery Protocol; also supports Cisco Discovery

Protocol (CDP).

* Tools - ping; traceroute; bandwidth test; ping flood; telnet; SSH; packet sniffer;

Dynamic DNS update tool.
