Someone told me to check out extreme networks, cisco or Ciena for the more cost effective mpls kit. Any advice on which of the three would have the most cost effective 10G MPLS switch?
I'm using Extreme switches for VPLS - the X460 will give you up to 6 x 10G ports, and the X670 will give you 48 x 10G ports (and 4 x 40G ports). I've not tried them as P nodes (we use Cisco for that), or for any other MPLS features (L3VPN), but for VPLS they're working well for us. When we started using them, they were significantly cheaper than Cisco alternatives. Simon
