Not all hardware are designed for comfy indoor spaces. Some are built to withstand the punishment of harsh weathers while maintaining stable connections. FiberBox Plus is such a hardened device in the switches category, and with two pairs of 10G SFP+ ports as well as a ingress protection level of IP66, it is the perfect affordable switch for large networks such as those of camp sites, seaside resorts or portyards, factories, and many others.

In their latest product launch, MikroTik has come up with an interesting LTE solution: The ATL LTE18 kit!

Unleash the true potential of LTE base stations and simply forget about clearing the snow off every other day!

Following our discussions on the physical In/Out Interfaces in RouterOS packet flow, we are going to have a look at the three main types of expected network traffic, namely input, output and forwarded traffic. With different examples on our MTCNA home lab, we see the details of traffic behavior traveling between our devices and review the log records of these types of ongoing traffic.
