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 othe

Hi there, Keep it really simple. MPLS/VPLS is the most scalable method to create Layer 2 and Layer 3 connectivity between sites. As previously mentioned, try to stick with one vendor, one code version for all the POPs, and use protocols that are designed to scale well. (ie. MP-BGP) If you

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) a
