Supported Features
Currently, RouterOS supports the following MPLS related features:
- MPLS switching with penultimate hop popping support
- static local label bindings for IPv4 and IPv6
- static remote label bindings for IPv4 and IPv6
- Label Distribution Protocol (RFC 3036, RFC 5036, and RFC 7552) for IPv4 and IPv6
- downstream unsolicited label advertisement
- independent label distribution control
- liberal label retention
- targeted session establishment
- optional loop detection
- ECMP support
- Virtual Private Lan Service
- VPLS LDP signaling (RFC 4762)
- Cisco style static VPLS pseudowires (RFC 4447 FEC type 0x80)
- VPLS pseudowire fragmentation and reassembly (RFC 4623)
- VPLS MP-BGP based autodiscovery and signaling (RFC 4761)
- Cisco VPLS BGP-based auto-discovery (draft-ietf-l2vpn-signaling-08)
- support for multiple import/export route-target extended communities for BGP based VPLS (both, RFC 4761 and draft-ietf-l2vpn-signaling-08)
- RSVP-TE Tunnels
- tunnel head-end
- explicit paths
- OSPF extensions for TE tunnels
- CSPF path selection
- forwarding of VPLS and MPLS IP VPN traffic on TE tunnels
- Ingress TE tunnel rate limit and automatic reserved bandwidth adjustment, see TE Tunnel Bandwidth Control
- all tunnel bandwidth settings are specified and displayed in bits per second
- MP-BGP based MPLS IP VPN
- Per-prefix and per-vrf label distribution policies for MP-BGP based MPLS VPN
- OSPF extensions for MPLS TE
- support for OSPF as CE-PE protocol
- ping and traceroute for specified VRF
- control over network-layer TTL propagation in MPLS
- RIP as CE-PE protocol
- per-VRF BGP instance redistribution settings
MPLS features that RouterOS DOES NOT HAVE yet:
- LDP features:
- downstream on-demand label advertisement
- ordered label distribution control
- conservative label retention
- TE features
- fast-reroute
- link/node protection
- Support for BGP as label distribution protocol
