My vote goes to proprietary ring protection from the vendor you choose: - EAPS (Extreme) - REP (Cisco) - MRP (Foundry/Brocade) - EPSR (Allied Telesis) Although EAPS is implemented in all Extreme switches, select models from the other vendors implement ring protection, but these models also do other things you might want your network to have (QinQ, per-VLAN controls).

Dear all,
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.
I know you all are in those network for years. can you give me some advises?
Best regards, chanty
