Given the latest nightly build running on a Mikrotik router with excellent connections to the mesh network and wide bandwidth to the Internet, what's the practical limit on the number of tunnels it can serve?
Thanks.

I don't think you will find a core team member that's excited enough about tunnels to care. We don't recommend running more than 1 or a few due to lingering memory issues.
To add another personal opinion, I think tunnels give all of us network operators a false sense of confidence that what they have built will work during a disaster.

Andre, we're fully aware that tunnels are not to be depended upon, as the Internet can go away without notice. That being said, we have a LOT of territory that's not yet covered by mesh RF. By allowing new users to get engaged in mesh networking, it gives them a feel for what's possible with ham networking and more importantly, impetus to find RF solutions for their network access.
Respectfully,

As far as limits, I think it primarily depends on how may nodes are on the overall mesh. So the answer is... it depends. You have to try it, measure, and monitor.
