You can run OpenWRT as a virtual router (MetaRouter) on top of Mikrotik. That would allow you to get around the TCP limit. Does anyone have any experience with running OpenWRT as a MetaRouter?
I've done it. It works fine. You just have to keep in mind that most of the Routerboard products have limited RAM, like any other embedded device.
The only catch is that anything done inside of OpenWRT has to be configured by hand from a terminal (obviously), instead of through Mikrotik's admin console.
