What is IPv6? IPv6 (Internet Protocol version 6) is the most recent version of the Internet Protocol (IP). It was developed to replace IPv4, which has been around since the early days of the internet. 🌍 Why do we need IPv6? IPv4 uses 32-bit addresses, which gives about 4.3 billion unique IP addresses. That seemed […]

PCC (Per Connection Classifier) is a powerful load-balancing method in MikroTik that allows you to distribute traffic across multiple WAN connections based on specific attributes. It ensures consistent routing of packets belonging to the same connection through the same WAN, avoiding issues like broken sessions or authentication failures on websites. How PCC Works PCC classifies

In MikroTik Port Forwarding NAT rules, the dstnat chain and dst-nat action are part of the process of handling destination NAT (port forwarding). Here’s what they mean: MikroTik Port Forwarding Overview dstnat in the chain For example: dst-nat in the action When you set the action to dst-nat, the router rewrites the destination address in

Option 1: Mangle Rules To achieve policy based routing on a MikroTik, this option leverages mangle rules to match the source traffic and then marks the traffic with a new routing mark which corresponds to a new FIB routing table. The traffic then gets routed by new routes (in our case a new default route)

Introduction to MikroTik Recursive Routing In modern networking, the concept of recursive routing plays a pivotal role in optimizing data transfer across complex networks. At its core, recursive routing involves a multi-step process where a router resolves the best path to a destination by analyzing and resolving intermediate routes. This methodology ensures that data packets

With Dynamic Gateways Before continuing, please checkout the first instance of this configuration here where we use the same logic but our gateways are configured statically. The priciple here is the same however how we update the distance of the routes in a failover scenario is different as well as how we get the next-hop

With Static Gateways There is a second instance of this solution here whereby we apply the same config and logic as in this article however with getting the default gateway routes dynamically instead of statically, as we have here. The Ultimate MikroTik Internet Failover #2 Initial Config The configuration for this topology is very simple,
