Hi,

MikroTik has large community support since RouterOS v7.
So that's no longer an excuse for 16 bit AS numbers.

Best regards

could this community convince Mikrotik to develop firmware to support all the internet numbers (and not just the convenient ones) ? do we have anyone from Mikrotik in this mailing list to explain what is stopping them from developing software that supports BGP LC? 

I mean, 32bit ASNs have been around since 2007, do they need 25 years or maybe 100 to code software/firmware that supports all numbers?

Yes.  But what are - or should be - the consequences of this?

Add a note to the long list of "Mikrotik leaves to be improved" and go on?
