I can't use REP on any of the cisco boxes I have in the ring, not supported. Unless I am missing something? I have lots of L2 only circuits, so I cant use something like OSPF entirely; even though I do use it for my Internal routing. And the problem I am having is exactly that.. not being able to filter spanning-tree facing the customer because of the Brocade bug. I appreciate everyones comments, but I think we are getting a little off track here, I am not asking a design question, but rather how to remove spanning-tree from my existing equipment with the least amount of impact to existing traffic. Thank you!

Ethernet L2 ring sounds bad to me. Especially multi-vendor rings are not a good idea. What about to replace the Brocade stuff with cisco, there are only 2 in your ring? Or do you really need a L2 ring, why not L3 with routing protocol? Or cloud you filter spanning tree facing to the customer, at least. That is best practise. Also REP would work better, but has to be tested in lab of course!
