What is Mikrotik Router OS ??

Hello buddies .. agan agan all, How's it going?? I hope fine, amen. In this post I will share knowledge about the Mikrotik. I posted an article on mikrotik because of my internship experience at one of the Company's ISP. Immediately, I will explain, What is Mikrotik Router OS???
We start from the definition of Mikrotik Router OS first. Mikrotik Router OS is a Linux operating system at designated base as a network router. Designed to provide convenience to its users. Administration can be done through the Windows Application that WinBox (Donwload). Besides the installation can be done on Standard PC (Personal Computer). PC will be the mikrotik router would not require substantial resource for the use of standards, for example, only as a gateway. For the purposes of a large load (complex networks, complex routing) are advised to consider the selection of an adequate resource PC.
Arnis RiekstinsFurther History of MikroTik RouterOS. MikroTik is a small company based in Latvia, next door to Russia. Formation initiated by John Trully and Arnis Riekstins. John Trully is an American citizen who immigrated to Latvia. In Latvia he met Arnis, Physics and Mechanics A darjana around 1995. John and Arnis began routing the world in 1996 (MikroTik mission is to routing over the world). Starting with Linux and MS-DOS are combined with the Wireless-LAN (WLAN) speed of 2 Mbps AERONET in Moldova, neighboring Latvia, then serve five customers in Latvia. Their basic principle is not to make the Wireless ISP (W-ISP), but it makes the program a router that is reliable and can run around the world. Latvia is only an experiment where John and Arnis, because now they've helped other countries, including Sri Lanka which serves about 400 users.
First used Linux Kernel 2.2 which is jointly developed with the help of 5-15 people staff Research and Development (R & D) which now rules the world MikroTik routing in developing countries. According Arnis, in addition to the staff in the MikroTik, they also recruit freelance tenega-and third-party intensively developed MikroTik marathon.
Then the types of Mikrotik there are 2 types, namely hardware and software. If hardware BUILT-IN Hardware MikroTik hardware in the form of a specially packaged in a board in which the router is installed MikroTik RouterOS MikroTik RouterOS and If the software in the form of software that can be downloaded at www.mikrotik.com. Can be installed on home computers (PC).
RouterOS also has features that are reliable. Below are the features that I wrote to you:FEATURES MIKROTIK

    WinBox: Application GUI mode to remotely and configure MikroTik RouterOS.
That's a little excerpt from mikrotik powerful features. Are you interested in learning??, Up here my article about Introduction to Mikrotik. I will make a follow-up article on How to Configure Initial Mikrotik. Good-bye and to wait for the next article. Thank you.
