Mikrotik Cloud Core Router 2116-12G-4S+
The MikroTik Cloud Core Router 2116-12G-4S+ (CCR2116-12G-4S+) is a high-performance enterprise-class router engineered for demanding networking environments including Internet Service Providers (ISPs), data centers, carrier networks, and large enterprise infrastructures.
Powered by a 16-core Amazon Annapurna Labs AL73400 ARM64 processor running at 2GHz and equipped with 16GB DDR4 RAM, the CCR2116 delivers exceptional routing performance for BGP, MPLS, VPNs, QoS, firewall filtering, and dynamic routing applications. It supports Layer 3 Hardware Offloading, enabling outstanding throughput while reducing CPU load.
The router includes 12 Gigabit Ethernet ports, 4× 10G SFP+ ports, and a dedicated Gigabit management port connected directly to the CPU. An integrated M.2 PCIe slot allows SSD expansion for additional storage requirements. Dual redundant power supplies and active cooling ensure maximum uptime in mission-critical deployments.
Running RouterOS v7 Level 6, the CCR2116 provides advanced routing, security, monitoring, and traffic management capabilities for large-scale networks. According to MikroTik performance information, the CCR2116 significantly improves single-core performance and BGP processing compared to previous-generation CCR routers.
