Thanks Mark for the feedback So , applying a routing protocol (I think RIP will be find in such an implementation?) and enable MPLS on the point to point interfaces?

Or should I implement routing on the main ring and keep Layer 2 active on the sub-rings ? or should I keep default STP running inside the network ? If these are IP-capable switches, go IP (if MPLS is possible, even better). Stay away from Layer 2 core rings if you can help it.
