I am in process of planning ring network to cover 15 POPs in City. Some technologies are chosen for consideration like SDH(Huawei), PVRST+(Cisco), RSTP(Zyxel), EAPS (extreme network) and MPLS(VPLS). The purpose is to provide L2 Ethernet connectivities from POPs to central point (DC) and ring protection.
Of the above, VPLS.
Strongly disagree. VPLS gives you ample rope to hang yourself. An L2 ring-based protocol like EAPS is much simpler to deploy. Steinar Haug, Nethelp consulting, sthaug@nethelp.no
