Intermediate interface where packet continues to process through the device after decapsulation Just before the packet is actually sent out. Last point in packets way through the router facilities.

Packet is received it will start its way from here. Starting point in packets way through the router facilities. To address these questions we created a packet flow diagram.įor MikroTik RouterOS v6.0 was created detailed diagrams to ease understanding of packet flow. However more complicated tasks, such as traffic prioritization, routing policies, where it is necessary to utilize more than one RouterOS facility, requires knowledge: How these facilities work together? What happens when and why?

Therefore creating limitation for individual IP or NATting internal clients to a public address or Hotspot configuration can be done without the knowledge about how the packets are processed in the router - you just go to corresponding menu and create necessary configuration. MikroTik RouterOS is designed to be easy to operate in various aspects of network configuration.
