MikroTik RouterOS v6.31 publicado

Desde hace unos días tenemos disponible la v6.31 del RouterOS, la cual viene bien cargada de novedades.

Al parecer MikroTik le esta prestando mucha atención al Cloud Hosted Router (CHR), ya que le está agregando soporte para diferentes hardware de virtualización. De hecho en el foro de MikroTik, los usuarios están comentando sus excelentes resultados en ambientes VMware, Virtio.

Se le ha agregado el soporte de imágenes X86_64 para ambientes de virtualizaciones con esa arquitectura. Seguramente MikroTik en esta nueva etapa, en relación a virtualización, permitirá disponer de un único hardware y varios routers funcionando al mismo tiempo con el mismo hardware, trabajando en ambientes de mucha carga / trafico.

Otro agregado importante es el soporte de WMM-PowerSave en el paquete wireless-cm2, el cual permite el ahorro de batería en dispositivos que lo soporten.
