Hi, L2VPN works also pretty well with the Extremes (X670). Only one thing doesn't work: LACP BPDU forwarding for the customer. This is caused by the method how Extreme let you configure the L2VPN on those small boxes. best regards Jürgen Jaritsch Head of Network & Infrastructure ANEXIA Internetdienstleistungs GmbH Telefon: +43-5-0556-300 Telefax: +43-5-0556-500 E-Mail: JJaritsch@anexia-it.com Web: http://www.anexia-it.com Anschrift Hauptsitz Klagenfurt: Feldkirchnerstraße 140, 9020 Klagenfurt Geschäftsführer: Alexander Windbichler Firmenbuch: FN 289918a | Gerichtsstand: Klagenfurt | UID-Nummer: AT U63216601 -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: NANOG [mailto:nanog-bounces@nanog.org] Im Auftrag von Simon Lockhart Gesendet: Mittwoch, 13.

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
