The main product of MikroTik is a Linux-based operating system known as
MikroTik RouterOS. Installed on the company's proprietary hardware
(RouterBOARD), or on standard x86-based computers, it turns the computer
into a network router and implements various additional features, such as
firewalling, virtual private network (VPN) service and client, bandwidth
shaping and quality of service, wireless access point functions and other
commonly used features when interconnecting networks. The system is also
able to serve as a captive-portal-based hotspot system. The operating
system is licensed in increasing service levels, each releasing more of
the available RouterOS features. A MS Windows application called Winbox
provides a graphical user interface for the RouterOS configuration and
monitoring, but RouterOS also allows access via FTP, telnet, and secure
shell (SSH). An application programming interface is available for direct
access from applications for management and monitoring.

RouterOS supports many applications used by Internet service providers,
for example OSPF, BGP, Multiprotocol Label Switching (VPLS/MPLS),
OpenFlow. The product is supported by Mikrotik through a forum and a wiki,
providing assorted and thematic examples of configurations. RouterOS
supports Internet Protocol Version 4 (IPv4) as well as Internet Protocol
Version 6 (IPv6).
