After moving most of our network over to VPLS, I'm working on pushing 10G further into the network. It doesn't make a lot of sense to do this with routers (cost & power) and since we use a lot of Calix gear for our GPON and already have some of it in place it makes sense to me to just set up a 10G ring and hang routers off of that where we need them. A couple of the legs are going to be wireless 10G links for now so I'm looking for feedback on G.8032v2 vs ERPS rings with wireless paths.
Going to be running ~20-30 Service VLANs with multiple CVLANS and 20-30 other single tagged VLANs over the ring (router to router, dedicated links, etc). The only drawback I see is the inability to do traffic engineering the way we an with MPLS VPLS but I'll still have that with the transport to the core ring. Any gotchas I should look for? Issues with wireless? benefits of one vs the other?
