Do you have more than one upstream? Hard to tell from the message. If so, learn BGP with a quickness. ;-)

We have a bunch of customers with more than two sites that would benefit. Right now, for the upstream tunnel, since we dont currently have any BGP, I am planning on the EOIP tunnel being part of the OSPF network to fail bandwidth over to the right statically routed upstream provider for the ARIN space, Assuming we dont lose a provider at the same time as we lose a primary backhaul, this should keep customer traffic flowing, albeit with more hops. This is on RB1100ahx2 routers with traffic never exceeding 200mbps either way. Noting that we dont currently have BGP, so that not being an option, how bad is what im doing in terms of networking 101 political correctness?

If you aren't familiar with MPLS, EoIP is a lot easier to debug and doesn't require your entire network to be running MPLS. Running across CCRs, I can't tell the difference in performance or CPU load between EoIP and MPLS/VPLS with 200Mbps of traffic. If you are doing just a customer or two, I'd use EoIP. If you plan on offering this to a larger customer base, switch to MPLS. On Mon, Oct 19, 2015 at 1:40 PM, Adam Moffett < dmmoff...@gmail.com > wrote: <blockquote> Wow cool.

For the most part, since its all routed traffic anyway, security isnt all that great a concern, other than maybe some snmp strings I cant think of much that would matter We do have an instance, Im assuming MPLS will be what would be best, the customer has a 10mb ptp fiber connection from another provider terminated in our NOC as a backup to their DIA with us over our wireless infrastructure, but I dont know, its all new to me On Mon, Oct 19, 2015 at 8:54 AM, Adam Moffett < dmmoff...@gmail.com > wrote: <blockquote> EoIP is non-standard, and while multiple platforms have it, they are probably not compatible. The main reason to do EoIP is if you need the entire layer2 header. I use it now and then to default a device, then bridge it's port with an EOIP tunnel back to my office so that I can access it from my laptop on it's default IP. You can also carry a full size 1500 byte packet on the EoIP tunnel....it will be fragmented on the outer layer so there's an efficiency penalty in doing so, so if everything works with a shorter MTU then use a shorter MTU. I switched a VPN to an EOIP tunnel for a library whose SonicWall broke PMTUD and thus there was packet loss on the tunneled traffic until I switched them to EoIP. The other reason to do EoIP is that it's stupid simple. Downsides: EoIP is insecure. Supposedly it's more cpu intensive than other types of tunnels, but in practice I haven't noticed.

I have two scenarios where eoip will be necessary to maintain upstream static routing between providers, one tunnel over the interwebs and one tunnel over our network since our providers are geographically isolated. I'm having a hard time figuring out if eoip is up and coming or dying, everything I read says its new but the documents are old, mikrotik documents indicate it's proprietary but Cisco docs mention it. </blockquote> -- If you only see yourself as part of the team but you don't see your team as part of yourself you have already failed as part of the team. </blockquote> </blockquote> -- If you only see yourself as part of the team but you don't see your team as part of yourself you have already failed as part of the team. </blockquote> </blockquote> </blockquote> </blockquote> </blockquote> -- If you only see yourself as part of the team but you don't see your team as part of yourself you have already failed as part of the team.
