checking authorization in the duration of connection

[Nyamul Hassan]

Hi,

Sorry for barging into the thread, but something just caught my
attention. We use Mikrotik throughout our network, and have found them
quite useful and with the right hardware, it performs pretty well in
our setup.

But, there are guys in this forum who are quite frankly, way ahead
than myself in terms of both knowledge and experience. So, could you
please elaborate why you rate Mikrotik as dumb? Perhaps I am already
in trouble!

Regards,
HASSAN
